About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an company owner borrows from assets they own to get the loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or an business asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Do I need security to get a business loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans it is not necessary to secure assets before you are able to access the money but we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as detailed in your loan contract document), asset security is not required. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need the option of a personal guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
