About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner makes use of the assets they have to secure the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or it could be a business asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
Do I need security to get a company loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access but we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as stipulated in the loan contract), asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, there is the option of a personal ensure and security in the form charges on assets.
