About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner uses an asset that they own to make a loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home or it could be a business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.
Do I need security to get a company loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security before you can access the money however, we do need a personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as stated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150,000 generally, there is personal ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
