The biggest loop hole with unsecured loans is they will usually ask you to sign a PG – Personl Gaurantee. This means that even if the business folds you still owe the money.
This loophole is outside of the usual ‘Limited Liability’ so my advice is NEVER sign a PG in your life.
I got stung in one of my previous businesses by a partner and 4 years later I am still paying back the money even though the company doesn’t exist anymore. Since then I have made a stand and refused to sign one and it’s amazing how many businesses will be happy to put a line through it.
The issue for you is which is it going to be? No one will lend you money with no gaurantee of getting it back – would you? If you that sure of your business plan and financial projections then I suggest you back yourself and get on with the business.
Good luck!
