About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the business owner uses assets they own to get the loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or a business property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of the lenders not just the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Are I require security for an business loan?
For loans up to $150K the requirement for asset security is not required before you are able to access the money, however we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as stated in your loan contract) Asset security will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K typically, you will need an individual guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
