About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner uses assets they own to secure a loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or a company asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lenders, not just the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is means of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
What do I need security for an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as stipulated in the loan contract), asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally there is a personal guarantee and security in the form of a charge over assets.
