About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner uses the assets they have to secure the loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home, or an company asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, even the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to secure an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access, however we do require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as stated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally there is an individual ensure and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
