About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner borrows from the assets they have to secure a loan. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home or an company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already own.
Do I require security for an company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans it is not necessary to secure assets before you can access the money, however we do need a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as detailed in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans over $150K generally, there is a personal guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
