Is it possible to get a loan without a financial rating? Who will lend me money without a credit rating? If I can't get a loan, how can I get credit? These questions circle the minds of many people who would like to get a loan but are unsure how to go about the process since they've never done it. Don't fret yet, even if you don't have a co-signer, there are ways for you to get the loan you need. Traditional banks require either a co-signer or a previous financial history to determine whether or not you qualify for a loan with them. Banks generally do not ask for collateral but instead, will look at your net worth. Your assets, investments, portfolio, financial history, savings or RSP contributions and tax returns will often be used as factors. Generally, the big banks should be your first stop when considering a loan. If you are refused by the big banks but would still like to get a loan, there is something you can do. Private financial lenders offer a wide variety of loans based off collateral. You do not have to have a previous credit history, huge savings account or Wall Street portfolio. If you own your car and it is less than ten years old, you stand a great chance at qualifying for a car title loan for example. Many people with no established credit seek private lenders as a way to get cash and begin growing a credit history. There are many reasons that you might apply for a secured loan with a private lender. Some of these include: ** You do not have any credit and would like to establish yourself
** You have an emergency and need fast money
** You have bad credit and traditional banks are not an option
** You want to start rebuilding your credit score
** You suddenly need to repair your vehicle
** You are overwhelmed and need to consolidate your debts Private lenders realize not everyone has a perfect financial history and that there are many people who have no credit. It's easy enough to see if you qualify for a private loan. Many lenders have their applications set up online so you, the customer, do not have to schedule banking appointments or spend hours standing in long lines. It only takes a few minutes to fill out online application and with some lenders, it only a few hours to let you know if you qualify. It is also possible with some lenders to have your new loan money transferred straight into your regular bank account within 24 hours. No credit doesn't have to equal no loan. Be sure to research your lender and read the fine print of your loan agreement before signing on the dotted line and you'll be well on your way to establishing your credit.
