About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the business owner borrows from an asset they own to get a loan. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of the lenders not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I require security to get an 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 the terms of your loan (as stated in your loan contract document) Asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150,000 typically, you will need an individual guarantee and security that is in the form an asset charge.
