An asset-based loan is when an company owner makes use of an asset they own to get a loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an business asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of the lenders not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
Are I require security for a company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money, however we do need an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally there is a personal ensure and security in the form of a charge over assets.
