About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner borrows from an asset they own to make the loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home, or an business asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of the lenders including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence it is means of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
Are I need security to secure a business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds However, we do need the personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as detailed in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans over $150,000 generally, there is an individual guarantee and security in the form of the charge of assets.
