About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner borrows from the assets they have to get the funds for a loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home, or a company asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of banks, including the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
Do I require security to secure a company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets before you are able to access the money but we do need the personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as specified in your loan contract document) Asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150K generally there is the option of a personal ensure and security that is in the form charges on assets.
