About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner borrows from assets they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home, or a company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The majority of banks, even the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
What do I require security for an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do need the personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, you are able to get a personal ensure and security in the form of charges on assets.
