About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner utilises an asset that they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home or a business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lenders, even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I need security to secure an business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets before you can access the money, however we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as specified in your loan contract) the security of assets is not required. For loans over $150K generally, there is personal guarantee and security in the form the charge of assets.
