About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a company owner uses the assets they have to make a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a business asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The majority of the lenders including the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing using the value of what you already have.
What do I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required before you are able to access the money However, we do need the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as specified in the loan contract), asset security will never be needed.
