About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a company owner uses assets they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home or an business asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of banks, including the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already own.
What do I need security to get an company loan?
Up to $150K in loans it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do need the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally there is personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
