About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an company owner uses an asset that they own to make the funding. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a business asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The majority of lenders, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing using the value of what you already own.
What do I need security for an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as specified in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally there is the option of a personal ensure and security in the form of the charge of assets.
