About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner borrows from an asset that they own to make a loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of the lenders including the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new financing by using the value of what you already have.
Should I require security to get an company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required upfront to access the money but we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as specified in your loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans over $150,000 generally there is personal ensure and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
