About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner uses an asset that they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home or a business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of the lenders not just the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
What do I require security to secure a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money but we do need the personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. For loans of over $150K generally, you are able to get the option of a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
