About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner utilises the assets they have to secure a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or it could be a business asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of the lenders not just the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is means of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money but we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as specified in the loan contract) Asset security will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 typically, you will need personal ensure and security in the form of the charge of assets.
