About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a company owner utilises an asset they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or it could be a business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, even the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is means of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
What do I require security for an business loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract document), asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 typically, you will need personal guarantee and security in the form charges on assets.
