Depending on the lender, a personal loan can cover almost anything. Big-ticket items like weddings, watercraft, debt consolidation, student fees and home renovations. Small-ticket items can cover dental work, vet bills, new appliances, holidays or even cosmetic surgery.

Have you decided to take out a personal loan? To get started you’ll need to consider the type of loan. Secured or unsecured? Variable or fixed interest rate? 

If you don’t have assets to secure your loan, an unsecured loan may be right for you. A secured personal loan uses your assets as collateral. This may sound like a greater risk, but secured loans may offer lower rates.
