Signature Loans

What are signature loans? Signature loans, also called unsecured loans are loans derived based solely on the borrower’s credit rating. They are not backed by any collateral. Since they aren’t backed by any assets, they are often much more difficult to obtain than a loan that is secured. Signature loans are considered much cheaper and carry less risk for the borrower. These loans that are not backed by some sort of collateral are not necessarily based on your credit score. For instance, if your friend loans you money without any collateral, that loan has nothing to do with your credit score. Nothing, other than maybe your friendship is at risk for the borrower. So, you can think of a signature loan as a loan that is not backed by any object of value. It is a loan that is made, to the borrower based solely on the borrower’s good name.

Banks and other financial institutions, unlike your friends or family, may want to review your credit score. After all, for them, this is strictly a business transaction. Your good name, and your credit worthiness may be determined by your credit score. Your credit score is determined by your historical payment history on prior debt.

There are three types of signature loans. There is a personal loan. This is a loan that you individually are responsible for the repayment of. There is also a business loan which leaves the business responsible for the repayment. There are also a business loans which are secured by a personal guarantee.
