About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an company owner uses an asset that they own to secure the funding. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a business asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, even the big banks, tend to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Do I require security for an business loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money however, we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as detailed in the loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need a personal ensure and security in the form of charges on assets.
