About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the business owner borrows from an asset they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or it could be a business asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lenders, including the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I need security to secure an business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets before you can access the money however, we do need the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as detailed in your loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans that exceed $150K, typically, you will need the option of a personal ensure and security that is in the form an asset charge.
