About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a company owner uses an asset that they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a business asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The majority of banks, even the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Are I need security to secure an business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access, however we do need the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally there is a personal guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
