About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner uses an asset they own to get the loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home or an business asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, including the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Should I need security to get a business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money but we do need the personal guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as detailed in your loan contract document), asset security is not required. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally there is personal ensure and security in the form the charge of assets.
