About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner uses the assets they have to get a loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or an company asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of the lenders including the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Are I need security for an company loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money however, we do need an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as stated in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans of over $150K generally there is the option of a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
