About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner makes use of an asset they own to obtain the loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or a company asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Are I require security for a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, no asset security is required before you can access the money, however we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as specified in the loan contract) Asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150K typically, you will need the option of a personal guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
