Unsecured finance can offer businesses a way to access capital quickly, whether to fund growth, manage seasonal cash flow or respond to unexpected expenses. But with a higher cost of borrowing, knowing when it is the right solution is critical.
In this episode of Finance Specialist, Julian Barnes is joined by Trent Carter from Accendo Financial to explore the opportunities for brokers in unsecured business lending and the different types of SMEs that may benefit from it.
They discuss how brokers can assess whether the cost of finance stacks up, distinguish between temporary cash flow pressures and deeper financial problems, and recognise when taking on more debt could do more harm than good.
Listen now to find out where unsecured finance fits and when brokers should walk away from a deal.
