About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner uses assets they own to secure a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home or a business asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lenders, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
Are I need security to get an company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do need a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, you are able to get an individual guarantee and security in the form of the charge of assets.
