About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner makes use of the assets they have to get a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or it could be a business asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lenders, even the big banks, tend to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
Are I require security to get an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, 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 your loan obligations (as specified in your loan contract) the security of assets is not required. For loans over $150K typically, you will need personal ensure and security in the form of charges on assets.
