The firm matches its clients with a variety of loan programs ranging from $25K to $450K, including personal loans, startup loans, unsecured business loans, jumpstart loans and lines of credit. Even better, UFS doesn’t charge any upfront fees and only receives commissions when a customer manages to secure funding.Additionally, UFS lists the following<a href="https://unsecuredfundingsource.com/ufs-affiliate-network/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=meet-the-supplier-unsecured-funding-source-2723595" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&nbsp;benefits</a> of working with them:<ul><li>Unsecured loans and lines of credit up to $450K</li><li>Rates from 8.99% to 11% (depending on strength of client’s credit)</li><li>Terms of three to 12 years (moist clients average six to eight)</li><li>100% unsecured, no home equity or other assets required</li><li>Funds can be used for any purpose</li><li>Turnaround times average two to three weeks</li><li>&nbsp;Special programs/discounts for veterans</li></ul>As noted on UFS’s<a href="https://unsecuredfundingsource.com/unsecured-loans/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=meet-the-supplier-unsecured-funding-source-2723595" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&nbsp;consumer-facing website</a>, the application for a loan or line of credit is “simple, secure and fast,” and takes as little as 60 seconds.<h3>Why Choose Unsecured Funding Source?</h3>UFS has more than 15 years of business startup and acquisition lending experience, and prides itself on its professional business development advice and friendly guidance. Additionally, the firm partners with over 250 lenders nationwide to match its clients’ needs with the best lending solutions, rates and terms.“Our extensive knowledge of the industry enables us to achieve the most competitive interest rates and terms in the country, and you can use your unsecured loan funds or line of credit for any purpose,” according to the brand’s site.<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/hamiltoncolin/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=meet-the-supplier-unsecured-funding-source-2723595" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Colin Hamilton</a>, UFS’s director of business development, said the firm has managed to stand out from its competitors by focusing on an individual’s creditworthiness rather than available capital.
