Find a guarantor
The most important part of a guarantor loan is finding guarantor. This would be a family member, relative or friend who is willing who is financially stable and willing to step in and make repayments in case you are unable to.
Pick a deal that works for you
Once you have a guarantor, you just need to choose a deal that offers you the lowest interest rate and a term long enough to afford the monthly payments, while also ensuring you don't pay too much in interest overall.
What are the different types of loans?
Secured loans
These require some type of security, such as a car or home, which you borrow against. This improves your eligibility and also allows you to borrow more. But it does put your car or home at risk of repossession, if you're unable to keep up with repayments.
Unsecured loans
These loans are granted (or not) based purely on the borrower's credit score and their ability to pay the money back. You may not be able to borrow as much, but you don't risk losing your assets if you're unable to repay the loan.
