About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner uses assets they own to get the loan. The asset could 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 the lenders including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new funding using the worth of the asset you already own.
What do I require security for a business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access but we do need a personal guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as detailed in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans of over $150K generally, you can get a personal guarantee and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
