Secured vs. Unsecured Business Lines of Credit

Both structures can provide revolving capital, but their underwriting and collateral expectations differ.

Secured credit

A secured facility may rely on receivables, inventory, equipment, real estate or other eligible collateral.

Unsecured credit

An unsecured line usually depends more heavily on cash flow, operating history and credit strength.

Compare more than rate

Review fees, guarantees, covenants, draw rules, repayment frequency, renewals and collateral controls.

Choose based on the business need

The right structure depends on amount, timing, asset base, cash cycle and tolerance for restrictions.
