About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner borrows from assets they own to obtain the loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or it could be a business asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
What do I require security for a business loan?
For loans up to $150K no asset security is required upfront to access the money but we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as specified in your loan contract) Asset security is not needed. For loans of over $150,000 typically, you will need a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
