About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner borrows from assets they own to secure a loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home or a company asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of banks, even the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Are I need security to secure an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access however, we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as stated in your loan contract), asset security is not required. For loans of over $150,000 generally, there is personal ensure and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
