About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner makes use of an asset that they own to make the funding. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home or a business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders including the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to get an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money, however we do need the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as detailed in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150K, typically, you will need the option of a personal ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
