About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner borrows from an asset they own to get the loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home or an company asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of banks, including the big banks, tend to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I require security for a business loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access, however we do need the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as stated in your loan contract document), asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, you can get personal ensure and security in the form charges on assets.
