About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner makes use of the assets they have to make the funds for a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or a company property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lenders, even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
What do I need security to secure a business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 the requirement for asset security is not required before you are able to access the money but we do require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill 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 $150,000 generally, you can get the option of a personal guarantee and security in the form of an asset charge.
