About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner makes use of the assets they have to obtain the funding. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or an business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders even the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Do I require security to get an business loan?
For loans up to $150K no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access, however we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150K generally, there is a personal ensure and security in the form a charge over assets.
