Without Recourse

Without recourse is a legal term that means that the lender has no right to go after the borrower's personal assets if the borrower defaults on the loan. This is in contrast to a recourse loan, where the lender can go after the borrower's personal assets if the borrower defaults.

There are a few reasons why a lender might offer a loan without recourse. One reason is that the lender believes that the borrower is a good credit risk and is unlikely to default. Another reason is that the lender may not be able to collect on the loan if the borrower defaults, so the lender wants to protect itself.

There are also a few risks associated with taking out a loan without recourse. One risk is that the borrower may default on the loan and the lender will not be able to recover any of its losses. Another risk is that the borrower may file for bankruptcy, which will discharge the loan and the lender will not be able to recover any of its losses.

Before taking out a loan without recourse, it is important to understand the risks involved. If you are not comfortable with the risks, you may want to consider taking out a loan with recourse.

Here are some additional details about loans without recourse:

* Loans without recourse are often used for commercial loans, such as loans to businesses.
* Loans without recourse are also sometimes used for personal loans, such as loans to finance a major purchase, such as a car or a house.
* The interest rates on loans without recourse are typically higher than the interest rates on loans with recourse.
* Loans without recourse are often secured by collateral, such as a car or a house.
* If the borrower defaults on a loan without recourse, the lender can sell the collateral to recover its losses.

If you are considering taking out a loan without recourse, it is important to speak to a qualified financial advisor to make sure that you understand the risks involved.
