About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner uses an asset that they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home or an business asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders not just the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already own.
What do I need security to secure an business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money however, we do need a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as detailed in your loan contract document) the security of assets is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally there is personal guarantee and security in the form of charges on assets.
