About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an company owner borrows from the assets they have to obtain a loan. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home or an company property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lenders, even the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing additional financing using the value of what you already own.
What do I need security to secure an business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access, however we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans of over $150,000 generally, there is an individual ensure and security in the form of the charge of assets.
