About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner uses an asset that they own to obtain a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The majority of lenders, including the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it is the process of securing additional financing making use of the value of what you already have.
Are I need security for an business loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money, however we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract), asset security is not needed. For loans of over $150,000 generally, there is an individual guarantee and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
