About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an company owner borrows from an asset they own to make the loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or it could be a business asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of banks, even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Should I need security for a company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets before you can access the money but we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as stipulated in the loan contract) Asset security will never be required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally there is a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
