About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner uses the assets they have to secure the funding. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of banks, not just the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
Do I need security to secure an company loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds However, we do need an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as specified in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, there is an individual ensure and security in the form of a charge over assets.
