About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner borrows from an asset that they own to make the loan. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home, or an company asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing by using the value of what you already own.
Should I require security to get an company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds but we require a personal guarantee. need an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as detailed in your loan contract document), asset security is not needed. For loans over $150,000 generally there is a personal ensure and security in the form a charge over assets.
