About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner uses an asset that they own to make a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home or a company property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lenders, even the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I require security to get an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds however, we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. For loans of over $150K generally there is an individual guarantee and security that is in the form an asset charge.
