About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner uses assets they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home, or it could be a business property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lending institutions, not just the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is means of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
Do I require security for an company loan?
For loans up to $150K the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money However, we do require a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as stated in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be required.
