About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner uses the assets they have to get a loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an company property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of banks, even the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
What do I require security for a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, there is no requirement for asset security before you can access the money but we do need the personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as detailed in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150,000 generally, there is an individual guarantee and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
