About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner uses assets they own to obtain a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home or a business asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new funding using the value of what you already have.
What do I need security to get a company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds however, we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract document), asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally there is a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
