About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the business owner borrows from an asset they own to make the loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or a business asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of banks, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I need security to secure a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access, however we do need an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as stated in your loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally there is a personal ensure and security in the form a charge over assets.
