About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner uses assets they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home or an business asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of banks, including the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
Do I require security to get a business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money, however we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as stated in your loan contract document) Asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150K generally, there is personal guarantee and security in the form of an asset charge.
