No Guarantor Loans

When you approach mainstream lending institutions for a loan, borrowing money without a first-rate credit history could mean you’re asked to have a guarantor. But many people don’t want someone to act as their guarantor and others simply don’t have someone they can ask. Thankfully there is a solution to this, and that is to search for a no guarantor loan. No guarantor loans are a form of short-term borrowing that can be approved without the backing of another person. If you’ve not heard the term before, you could be wondering what a guarantor is and why are they needed? A guarantor is someone who takes responsibility for another person’s loan. In effect they guarantee that the loan will be repaid by themselves if the borrower fails to meet the agreed terms. Usually, a guarantor is someone close to you, like a family member who knows you well and trusts you. It is a lot to ask, and not everyone wants another person to do that for them. This is where no guarantor loans come in – they enable short term loans to be issued to independent individuals.

What are no guarantor loans?

A no guarantor loan is one that you are fully responsible for. No one else is contractually obliged to make repayments on your behalf if you fail to pay up. This gives you financial independence, but it could also mean that the APR is higher than with a guaranteed loan. In some cases, you could find a loan that does not come with a higher APR, it all depends on the lender and your circumstances. The amount you can borrow and the payment terms will differ from person to person. Many of the lenders we work with won’t charge a high interest rate for no guarantor loans, they are more flexible in their approach to lending than mainstream institutions. They will look at your ability to pay back the money and give you a decision within the same day.
