About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner makes use of the assets they have to get the loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or an business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, not just the big banks, tend to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Do I need security to secure an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money, however we do need a personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as stated in the loan contract), asset security will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, you are able to get a personal guarantee and security in the form of the charge of assets.
