You have probably heard of guarantor loans, but what exactly are they? In a nutshell, it could be the perfect solution for you if you`re looking for an any purpose loan from £500 to £10,000 but cannot get a personal unsecured loan on your own and you are a tenant or you do not have enough equity in your home for a secured loan.

With this kind of loan, you can borrow money as long as you have a close friend, colleague or relative who is prepared to be a joint borrower on the guarantor loan agreement. This person is called the guarantor and is basically backing you as trustworthy to pay the loan and most importantly to confirm this they have to agree to make the loan repayments if you do not. These loans are not secured on a person`s property but the guarantor is very often required to be a homeowner. The guarantor also cannot have any other shared credit interests with you, for example they cannot be your guarantor if you have a combined current bank account.

The loan repayments can be spread over typically one to five years and the money can be used for any ``legal`` purpose. Common examples are relatives helping you to buy a car, or making important home renovations. Some are used where the borrower wants to consolidate their debts down and a friend or relative decides to help them do just that. If you have been declined for a loan due to having no credit history or having some bad credit then these loans enable you still to get a loan when you need one because in effect someone else is guaranteeing the loan repayments will be met.
