About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a company owner makes use of an asset that they own to secure the funding. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home, or a business asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lending institutions, not just the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing additional financing using the value of what you already own.
Do I need security to secure a business loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access but we do need the personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract document), asset security is not needed. For loans of over $150,000 typically, you will need the option of a personal ensure and security in the form of the charge of assets.
