About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a business owner borrows from an asset that they own to make the loan. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or an company asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The majority of the lenders even the big banks, tend to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already own.
What do I require security to get a company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access, however we do need a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans over $150K typically, you will need an individual guarantee and security in the form of a charge over assets.
