About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner utilises assets they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a company asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I need security to get an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds However, we do need the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as detailed in your loan contract document), asset security will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, there is a personal ensure and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
