About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner utilises assets they own to secure a loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or an company asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, including the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure additional financing using the value of what you already own.
What do I need security to secure a business loan?
Up to $150K in loans there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access However, we do require a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as specified in the loan contract), asset security is not required.
