About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner uses an asset they own to secure the funding. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of the lenders even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
What do I require security to get a business loan?
Up to $150K in loans no asset security is required before you can access the money, however we do require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as stated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally there is the option of a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
