About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an company owner uses an asset that they own to secure a loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home, or a business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders not just the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
What do I need security for a business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access, however we do need an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as stipulated in the loan contract), asset security is not required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, you can get a personal guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
