About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner borrows from the assets they have to make a loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a company asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, not just the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
What do I require security to secure a business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as detailed in your loan contract document), asset security will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally there is an individual ensure and security in the form the charge of assets.
