About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner uses the assets they have to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home, or an company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lenders, not just the big banks, tend to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I need security to get an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, no asset security is required before you are able to access the money However, we do require a personal guarantee.
