About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the company owner borrows from an asset they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or a company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of the lenders not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing additional financing using the value of what you already own.
What do I require security to secure an company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access However, we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as detailed in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans over $150,000 generally there is personal ensure and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
