About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner borrows from assets they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a company asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of the lenders even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Do I need security for an business loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access but we do need an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as specified in the loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans over $150,000 generally, there is an individual ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
