About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner makes use of an asset they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home or an company asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of the lenders not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new funding using the value of what you already own.
Are I need security for a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as detailed in the loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150,000 typically, you will need personal ensure and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
