About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner utilises an asset they own to make the funding. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an company property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Are 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 require a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as stated in the loan contract), asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, there is a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
