About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner uses assets they own to make the loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or an business asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The majority of banks, even the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new financing by using the value of what you already own.
Should I require security for an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as stated in the loan contract) Asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150K typically, you will need the option of a personal ensure and security in the form an asset charge.
