About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner borrows from assets they own to get the loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lenders, including the major banks, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it is means of securing additional financing making use of the value of what you already have.
What do I require security for an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do need an individual guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as specified in the loan contract), asset security is not needed.
