About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner uses assets they own to secure the loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a business asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of banks, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is means of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
What do I need security for a company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 no asset security is required upfront to access the money but we do need a personal guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as detailed in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need the option of a personal ensure and security in the form of the charge of assets.
