About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the business owner uses an asset they own to get a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or it could be a business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Do I require security for a company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans the requirement for asset security is not required before you can access the money but we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as stated in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans of over $150K typically, you will need a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
