About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the business owner uses assets they own to obtain a loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home, or an business asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of banks, including the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I need security to secure a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract document) Asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
