- Your annual turnover is R1 million
What’s a good credit score to get a business loan?
Typically, between 640 to 700 is a good personal credit score. But your personal credit score is different from your business credit score. If you’re applying for a business loan, your personal credit score is one of several data points lenders consider when defining your risk.

We use scoring technology that does a real-time assessment of your business, enabling us to make an accurate judgement and get you the best funding deal.

An unsecured business loan is a type of loan that does not require the borrower to provide any collateral or security against the loan amount. In other words, the loan is not backed by any asset or property of the borrower. Instead, the lender evaluates the borrower’s creditworthiness and financial history to determine the risk of lending money to the business. Unsecured loans are typically offered at higher interest rates compared to secured loans, as they carry a higher risk for the lender.
