About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a business owner uses assets they own to make the loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home, or an business asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing using the value of what you already own.
What do I require security to get an company loan?
For loans up to $150K no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access but we do require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as detailed in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans over $150K generally, you are able to get an individual guarantee and security that is in the form the charge of assets.
