You can either borrow a secured or an unsecured business loan but unsecured business loans have a higher interest rate as compared to secured ones. Secure loans offer banks the collateral which ensures safety, however, unsecured loans do not have any collateral therefore the interest rates are higher.

If you have been running your business for a long time and there is a considerable amount of stability in your business, it might lead financiers to offer you a lower rate of interest. Unstable and recent businesses might get a higher rate of interest.
