About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner makes use of the assets they have to obtain a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or an company property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is means of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already own.
What do I require security to get an company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do need an individual guarantee.
