About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner borrows from an asset that they own to get the loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or it could be a business asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lenders, even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it is means of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already own.
What do I require security for a company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access however, we do need an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as stated in the loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, you can get a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
