About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the business owner makes use of the assets they have to make the funding. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home or an business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Do I require security for a business loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access, however we do need an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as specified in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, you can get a personal guarantee and security that is in the form the charge of assets.
