What is a unsecured business overdraft?

An unsecured business overdraft is a revolving line of credit with no property security required. No caveat over your home, no registered charge over real estate. The lender assesses your cash flow and credit profile instead. Facilities up to $150,000 available unsecured.

Through the OverdraftMe lender panel, unsecured overdrafts range from $10,000 to $150,000. This is the same revolving product as a standard business overdraft, minus the property requirement.
