About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner uses the assets they have to obtain the loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing using the value of what you already own.
What do I need security to get an company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access however, we do need the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans over $150K generally there is a personal guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
