About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner makes use of an asset they own to get the loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or a company asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of banks, even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I require security to get an business loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do need a personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as detailed in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans that exceed $150K, typically, you will need a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
