About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner borrows from an asset they own to secure the loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home or a company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, even the major banks, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure additional financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Do I need security to secure an company loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as detailed in the loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150,000 generally there is a personal guarantee and security in the form the charge of assets.
