About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner makes use of an asset that they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or an company asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of banks, not just the major banks, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing making use of the value of what you already have.
Do I require security for an business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require a personal guarantee.
