About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an company owner makes use of assets they own to secure the loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of the lenders not just the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing using the value of what you already own.
Do I need security for an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access but we do require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract document), asset security is not required. For loans over $150,000 generally, you can get an individual ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
