About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner borrows from assets they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home or an business asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of the lenders not just the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
What do I require security to get an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access However, we do need the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, there is the option of a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
