About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the company owner uses the assets they have to make the funding. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or a business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
What do I require security for an business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access, however we do need a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as stipulated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans of over $150K typically, you will need personal ensure and security in the form of charges on assets.
