About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the business owner makes use of assets they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home or a business asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lenders, including the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Are I require security to get a business loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans it is not necessary to secure assets before you can access the money but we do need a personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally there is personal guarantee and security in the form of charges on assets.
