About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner makes use of the assets they have to make the funding. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home or a business asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan then 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 to get an business loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans it is not necessary to secure assets before you are able to access the money but we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. For loans over $150,000 typically, you will need personal guarantee and security that is in the form charges on assets.
