About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner makes use of the assets they have to make the funding. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home or a business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of the lenders even the big banks, tend to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
What do I need security for an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans of over $150K generally there is the option of a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
