About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner uses assets they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home or a business asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of the lenders not just the major banks, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I need security to get a business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as specified in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150,000 generally, there is an individual ensure and security in the form of the charge of assets.
