About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner uses the assets they have to get the funds for a loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an company asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of banks, including the major banks, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Are I require security to get an business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access but we do need the personal guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as specified in your loan contract document), asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally there is a personal guarantee and security in the form of the charge of assets.
