the minimum personal loan amount is usually £1,000
personal loans might have higher interest rates compared to other types of lending
the interest rate advertised isn’t necessarily the one you’ll receive, as this will be based on your loan amount, loan term and also your credit history
any time you take on debt there is an element of risk. Will you be able to meet your repayments? If your financial situation was to change, would you still be able to comfortably meet your repayments?
if you miss repayments or default on your personal loan it may impact your credit score, this can impact your ability to borrow in the future
