About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner borrows from the assets they have to obtain the loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or an company asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lenders, even the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing using the value of what you already own.
Should I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access however, we do require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as stated in your loan contract), asset security is not needed. For loans of over $150,000 generally, you can get personal guarantee and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
