About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an company owner borrows from an asset that they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home, or an company asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of banks, not just the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
What do I require security to get a company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds However, we do require the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as specified in the loan contract), asset security is not required. For loans of over $150K typically, you will need an individual ensure and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
