About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner uses an asset they own to secure the funding. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or an company property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of the lenders even the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Are I require security to secure a company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access but we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans of over $150K generally there is a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
