About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner borrows from an asset they own to secure the loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home or a business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, even the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is means of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.

For loans that exceed $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets before you can access the money, however we do require a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as detailed in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, you are able to get personal ensure and security that is in the form charges on assets.
