About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner utilises assets they own to get the funding. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a company asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The majority of banks, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new financing making use of the value of what you already have.
What do I require security for a business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as detailed in the loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans over $150K generally there is an individual ensure and security in the form of the charge of assets.
