What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the business owner utilises the assets they have to secure the funding. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or a business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Are I require security to get an company loan?
Up to $150K in loans no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract document), asset security is not required. For loans of over $150K generally there is the option of a personal ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
