About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner uses an asset they own to get the loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home, or a company asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of banks, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
Do I require security for a company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as stipulated in the loan contract) Asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150K generally, there is personal ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
