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 an asset that they own to get a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of banks, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing additional financing using the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to secure an business loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as specified in your loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need the option of a personal guarantee and security in the form of a charge over assets.
