About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner uses the assets they have to get a loan. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a company asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of banks, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new funding using the value of what you already have.
Should I need security to secure a business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money however, we do require an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as specified in your loan contract document) Asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150K generally there is the option of a personal ensure and security in the form of a charge over assets.
