Starting a business without any credit history is common — but it can make getting financing feel impossible. Lenders typically look at credit scores to assess risk, so if your business is new or you’ve never borrowed before, you might be wondering: Can I still get a business loan with no credit history?
An unsecured business loan is financing that does not require collateral (like equipment, real estate, or inventory) to secure the loan. Instead, approval is based on creditworthiness, cash flow, business history, and underwriting metrics. However, many unsecured loans do require a personal guarantee, meaning your personal assets could still be on the line if your business defaults.

But stocking shelves or warehouses with the right products requires significant upfront capital, and cash flow constraints often make it difficult to purchase enough inventory to meet demand.
Construction firms face several financial challenges that lenders scrutinize:
Running a seasonal business has its perks — busy months bring in strong revenue, and you can plan around predictable demand. But when the off-season arrives, many businesses face the same challenge: how to keep cash flowing when income slows down.
If you’re planning to buy commercial real estate, build a new facility, or purchase major equipment for your business, the SBA 504 loan is one of the best financing tools available. It offers low, fixed interest rates, long repayment terms, and high borrowing limits — all designed to help small businesses grow without draining their cash flow.
