About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner uses an asset that they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or a company asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lenders, even the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
What do I require security for a company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access, however we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as detailed in your loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans over $150K generally, you can get an individual ensure and security in the form the charge of assets.
