About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner borrows from assets they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home, or a business asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Do I need security for an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money However, we do require an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract document) the security of assets is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 typically, you will need an individual guarantee and security in the form of a charge over assets.
