Unsecured loans are the ones which can be availed by people without any collateral or security against it. These loans are beneficial to people who do not have any personal property or vehicle to provide for the security needed. Generally all the loans need some or the other collateral against the loan amount from the borrower so that if the borrower fails to repay the loan amount, the security can be ceased by the bank to recover the loss. But due to the absence of such a condition in unsecured loans, the lender faces a higher risk factor. In such cases, loans are granted on the basis of the borrower's credibility.

Borrower's credibility is checked through his past records of debt repayments. Through this act the lender comes to know that hoe likely the borrower is able to pay back the debts. Through this task the credibility is evaluated and the loan gets sanctioned. Unsecured loans are of different types. First the personal unsecured loan, the unsecured business loan and the last unsecured business loan on a personal guarantee. In case of unsecured personal loans the borrower is solely responsible for the repayment. In unsecured business loan, business is responsible for the repayment whereas in case of unsecured business loans on personal guarantee the loan is taken by the business and has to be repaid by it only but if it fails, then you as individual will be responsible to pay the last resort left.

Unsecured loans come with a bit higher interests rates as compared to the secured loans because the lender faces bigger risks of defaults. But such loans are highly beneficial for common people who are unable to meet the requirement of security and collateral to be provided.
