About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner makes use of the assets they have to obtain the loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home, or an company asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lenders, not just the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new funding making use of the value of what you already own.
Do I need security to get a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds However, we do require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as detailed in your loan contract) the security of assets is not required. For loans that exceed $150K, typically, you will need the option of a personal guarantee and security that is in the form an asset charge.
