About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner makes use of the assets they have to get the loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, not just the largest banks, are inclined 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 own.
Are I require security to get an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access but we do need a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, there is an individual ensure and security in the form a charge over assets.
