About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the business owner makes use of assets they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home or an company asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence it is means of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already own.
Are I need security to secure an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets before you are able to access the money, however we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as specified in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150,000 generally, you can get the option of a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
