About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the business owner borrows from an asset they own to get a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or an company property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, even the big banks, tend to secure loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new financing using the value of what you already have.
What do I require security to secure an business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money, however we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stated in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K typically, you will need the option of a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
