About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner borrows from the assets they have to get the funding. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home, or a business property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of banks, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new funding using the value of what you already have.
Do I require security for an company loan?
Up to $150K in loans there is no requirement for asset security before you are able to access the money however, we do need an individual guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as stated in your loan contract) the security of assets is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally there is personal ensure and security in the form of the charge of assets.
