About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the business owner borrows from assets they own to secure the funding. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a business asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of banks, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
Should I need security to secure an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access however, we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as detailed in your loan contract), asset security is not required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally there is the option of a personal guarantee and security in the form of a charge over assets.
