About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an company owner utilises an asset that they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The majority of lenders, even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s means of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Are I need security for a business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access but we require a personal guarantee. need an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as detailed in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, there is personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
