About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner uses the assets they have to secure a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or an business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of banks, not just the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
Should I require security for an company loan?
For loans up to $150K the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money, however we do need the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as specified in your loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150,000 generally there is the option of a personal guarantee and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
