About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner utilises the assets they have to get the loan. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of the lenders not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
What do I need security for a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, no asset security is required upfront to access the money, however we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as detailed in the loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150K generally, there is the option of a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
