About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term “asset-based” refers to borrowing where an business owner uses an asset they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a business asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lenders, even the big banks, tend to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I need security to get a business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, no asset security is required before you can access the money However, we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as stated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K typically, you will need the option of a personal guarantee and security in the form of charges on assets.
