About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner uses an asset they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home, or an company asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lenders, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing making use of the value of what you already have.
Are I need security for a business loan?
Up to $150K in loans no asset security is required before you can access the money but we do need the personal guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as stated in the loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150K generally there is personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
