About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner makes use of assets they own to get a loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, including the big banks, tend to guarantee 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 the process of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
Do I require security to secure a business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as detailed in the loan contract), asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K typically, you will need an individual guarantee and security in the form of an asset charge.
