About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner uses an asset they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or an company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of banks, not just the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
What do I require security to get an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, no asset security is required upfront to access the money but we do require a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract document) the security of assets is not needed. For loans over $150,000 generally, you can get an individual guarantee and security that is in the form an asset charge.
