A Secured Loan can be used for any legitimate purpose. Some lenders might have specific restrictions, but the loan can usually be used to pay for anything from buying a new car to consolidating existing debt.

A Secured Loan means that your home is used as security against the loan. The main benefit of taking out a secured loan is that you should be able to get a better rate of interest than you would with an unsecured loan, and therefore monthly repayments are kept down. You may also have the choice of a fixed or discounted rate of interest.
