About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner makes use of assets they own to get the funding. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a business asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Do I require security to secure a company loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money but we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as specified in the loan contract), asset security is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, there is an individual guarantee and security in the form of the charge of assets.
