About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner borrows from an asset they own to obtain a loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home, or a business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new funding using the value of what you already have.
Are I need security for a company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as detailed in the loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. For loans over $150K generally there is an individual guarantee and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
