About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner borrows from an asset they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a company asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of banks, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I require security to get an company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access However, we do need an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as specified in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150K, typically, you will need an individual ensure and security in the form a charge over assets.
