About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner borrows from assets they own to secure a loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home, or an business asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lenders, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I need security for an business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, there is no requirement for asset security before you can access the money however, we do require an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, you are able to get an individual ensure and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
