About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner borrows from assets they own to secure the funding. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a company asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of the lenders even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
What do I require security to secure an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access but we do require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as specified in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need the option of a personal guarantee and security in the form the charge of assets.
