How Guarantor Loans work
Traditional unsecured loans or personal loans are provided on terms that depend on the applicant's personal financial circumstances. Lenders will base their decision to lend upon the applicant's credit history and/or will use computerised credit scoring techniques to make their decision.
Guarantor Loans change the rules and put you in control - we don't believe that because you may have had credit issues in the past that you shouldn't be helped now. With an unsecured guarantor loan our lenders will consider you for a loan if you can provide a guarantor for the loan - that is a person who is prepared to guarantee the loan repayments should you default on those payments yourself. No one is likely to act as a guarantor unless they believe that you will repay the loan 100%. This is why your guarantor is likely to be a parent, family member or very close personal friend - they will know you better than a computerised score ever could! Because you provide a guarantor our lenders do not need to credit check you and they do not base their lending decison on a credit score.

What is the Application Process?
Complete the simple, secure and fast online form. Our specialist lenders will assess your enquiry and then email and post to you (first class) the guarantor loan offer documentation you and your guarantor need to complete - this has been greatly simplified recently. You may receive loan offers from different lenders in which case you can compare and decide which one suits you best.
The posted documents will be with you 2-3 working days after you've enquired. The money you have requested will have be put aside for you ready to be paid out. Get your guarantor to complete the simple paperwork. As soon as lender receives your signed guarantor loan paperwork they will process it and an assigned personal caseworker will contact you. The lender aims to payout the loan within 24 hours of processing your signed paperwork.
