About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner makes use of an asset they own to get the funding. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home, or a business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, even the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing additional financing using the value of what you already own.
Are I require security to secure an company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 the requirement for asset security is not required before you are able to access the money but we do require the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract document), asset security will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally there is a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
