Why does a business take an unsecured loan?

An unsecured loan gives you faster access to capital that you can put to work in your business. It’s a popular component of the small business finance mix, providing flexibility and convenience. However, because of the interest charges, unsecured loans are not Sharia-compliant. Our funding solution has all these advantages with the additional benefit of conforming to Sharia principles.

Through our unsecured business loan alternative, you can access funding of between £50,000 and £200,000. Put this to work to develop and grow your business.

How our unsecured business loan alternative works for you

Our Sharia-compliant finance solution offers all the advantages of an unsecured business loan but without being one.

  • There’s no collateral

    This is a huge benefit, because you’re not required to offer any assets as security for the funds. Get the funds your business needs while retaining the flexibility to manage your assets as you choose.

  • It’s easy to apply

    Making it straightforward for business owners to apply means eliminating unnecessary paperwork and process. We ask you for the information we absolutely need, nothing more.

  • You get the funding fast

    Once your offer is fully funded you will receive the money in your account in 2 days. Because it’s unsecured, there are no assets to value or similar hurdles to get in the way.

  • You decide how to spend the money

    It’s your business, so you know where to put the funds to work. As with any other unsecured business loan, you have significant flexibility on how you use it.

How our solution is different from an unsecured business loan:

  • There are no interest charges

    Our finance complies with Sharia principles, which prohibits the charging of interest. Instead, we do charge a rate (i.e. profit rate) that’s set in advance and a processing fee, which is agreed with you at the start.

  • Socially responsible finance

    We’re pleased to provide finance for businesses and organisations that make a positive contribution to society. This includes many small and medium-sized firms across many different industries.

Customer stories

Qardus is a great example of the importance of flexible working capital for asset light businesses such as ours. Without the assets to offer a traditional lender as collateral, micro SMEs are often turned away. Qardus worked with us to understand our strategy and ambitions, and the funding provided will support the investment required to update our data service provider, allowing us to have more control of our central costs
