About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner borrows from the assets they have to make the funds for a loan. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an company asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, including the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
What do I require security to secure a company loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access, however we do need a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans over $150,000 generally there is an individual ensure and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
