About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner borrows from an asset that they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or an business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of banks, not just the big banks, tend to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it is means of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
What do I require security for an business loan?
For loans up to $150K no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access but we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as stipulated in the loan contract), asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally there is the option of a personal guarantee and security in the form of charges on assets.
