About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner borrows from the assets they have to make the funding. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or an company asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
What do I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, no asset security is required before you are able to access the money, however we do require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as detailed in your loan contract) the security of assets will never be required.
