About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner borrows from an asset they own to obtain the funding. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or it could be a company asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of banks, not just the big banks, tend to secure loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I require security for a company loan?
Up to $150K in loans there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access, however we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as specified in the loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans over $150,000 generally, you are able to get personal ensure and security in the form an asset charge.
