Commonly Asked Questions
What Is an Unsecured Line of Credit?
We’ll break down what all of this means by defining what an unsecured line of credit actually is. We’ll start with the word “unsecured.” Unsecured means that you don’t have to put up collateral for financing, which is advantageous to the borrower because it means that no asset is put directly at risk should something go wrong. Credit cards are usually examples of unsecured debt, whereas a car loan or a mortgage is secured debt – if you don’t pay the loan, you lose the collateral, in these cases the car or the home.
Now that you know that an unsecured line of credit does not require collateral, we’ll lay out what a line of credit actually is. A line of credit is a revolving credit account that has a preset limit. You can draw from that credit account as you need funds, and you pay back what you borrow plus interest. Interest begins to accrue when you draw from that account. You can draw as much or as little as you need when you need it, and you only pay interest on what you draw.
There are advantages and disadvantages relating to unsecured lines of credit as compared to straight loans. The obvious advantage is that this mode of financing removes the guesswork. You will only borrow what you need and no more. You will also have constant access to funds and there are relatively few restrictions on use. This basically gives someone working capital to handle projects for which they do not have cash available.
There are some disadvantages to unsecured lines of credit as well. Generally speaking, unsecured lines of credit carry a higher interest rate than a mortgage or a fixed loan. In addition, lines of credit have variable interest rates, meaning if rates rise, so do the rates on your draws. Finally, in most cases, the interest you pay on an unsecured line of credit is not deductible from your annual tax liability, as is the case in many situations with mortgage interest.
The question of how to get an unsecured line of credit is one that’s answered pretty simply in general terms: have a good credit score and payment history. If your credit score is in the good – very good range, chances are you’ll qualify for an unsecured line of credit depending on how much you want to have access to in your revolving account. If your credit score reflects some past struggles and bad luck, you may not qualify for as big of a potential draw or you may need to pursue a secured line of credit. It all depends on your history and score.
There are both personal and business lines of credit. The decisions on these financing options depends on credit worthiness regardless of the type of line of credit pursued. It’s quite common for businesses to open revolving lines of credit for common expenses that include payroll, lease payments on equipment and other expenses that come around that may be difficult to meet if cash is ever tight at any given time.
