About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner uses the assets they have to make the funding. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or it could be a business asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of banks, even the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Do I require security for an company loan?
Up to $150K in loans there is no requirement for asset security before you are able to access the money, however we do require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as stipulated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150K generally, you are able to get an individual ensure and security in the form a charge over assets.
