About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a business owner uses assets they own to get the funding. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home or a business asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders even the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new financing using the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to secure a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, there is no requirement for asset security before you can access the money, however we do require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as specified in the loan contract) Asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150K generally there is an individual guarantee and security in the form a charge over assets.
