About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the company owner utilises an asset that they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a company asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing additional financing making use of the value of what you already own.
Should I need security for a company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do need a personal guarantee.
