About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a business owner utilises the assets they have to make the funds for a loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a business asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of banks, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it is means of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Do I need security for an business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money but we do require a personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract document) Asset security will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally there is a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
