Types of Low Cost Loans
Personal loans – This is used for personal purchases and everyday expenses such as buying a new car, starting a business, consolidating debts, a wedding, holiday or similar. This type of loan is usually unsecured so you are not required to put down any form of collateral and your eligibility is based on your income and credit status.
Home improvements – For those looking to extend, amend or renovate their home, you can find low cost loans for home improvements. Perfect for upgrading your kitchen, bathroom or adding an extension to your home. This option is both secured and unsecured, and to get the lowest rate, you may need to secure the loan against your property.
Secured loans – This is where you use some form of collateral such as your property, car, jewellery or similar valuable asset. The amount you can borrow is based on the value of this items and the rates can sometimes be very low (such as a mortgage or car loan) – but this is because your asset is at risk of being repossessed if you do not keep up with repayments.

- Full-time UK resident
- Permanent UK address

Unsecured loans – When a loan is unsecured, it means that there is no collateral attached to the loan and you are applying based on your income, affordability and credit score. To access the lowest rates possible, you will be required to have a strong credit score.
How Can I Get Low Cost Loans?
Be employed
Have a steady income
Good credit history
Avoid outstanding debt
Low cost loans are usually reserved for people with good credit scores because it shows that they have successfully paid off other types of loans, credit cards and car finance on time. This gives the lender a lot of confidence that their money is in good hands and the customer will be able to repay on time.
You are required to be in employment and have a stable income, since this will be a natural way for you to pay off your loan every month. If you are on benefits, unemployed or between jobs, this will make the lender think that you are potentially a greater risk to lend to.
You should also avoid having too much outstanding debt or too many loans open. So whilst you may be employed or have a good credit score, if you have a lot of similar loans open, it can often be hard to juggle and make you seem less financially in control.
Your application will be viewed by our panel of 40 lenders and based on your loan requirements, you will be paired with the lender who can offer you a loan and at the lowest rate possible. With rates starting from 9.9% APR, you can find the best low cost loan with Badger Loan.
Are There Low Cost Loans for Bad Credit?
Yes, there are low cost loans for people with bad credit and to access this, you will typically need to add some form of collateral or security to your loan.
