About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner utilises the assets they have to obtain the loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home, or an business asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Should I need security for an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money but we do require a personal guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need the option of a personal guarantee and security that is in the form an asset charge.
