About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner borrows from an asset they own to get the loan. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or a business property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of banks, not just the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new financing using the value of what you already have.
Should I need security for a company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150K, typically, you will need the option of a personal ensure and security in the form an asset charge.
