About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner makes use of assets they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or a company asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Should I need security for a company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans there is no requirement for asset security before you can access the money but we require a personal guarantee. need an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as specified in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required.
