About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the company owner uses an asset they own to secure the funding. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or it could be a business asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of banks, not just the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I need security for an company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access however, we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as detailed in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150,000 generally, you can get a personal ensure and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
