About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the business owner uses assets they own to secure the loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home, or a company property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing making use of the value of what you already own.
What do I need security to secure an company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required before you can access the money, however we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as detailed in your loan contract) Asset security is not required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally there is an individual ensure and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
