About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner borrows from the assets they have to make a loan. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home or a company asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, even the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence it is means of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to secure a business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as detailed in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150,000 typically, you will need the option of a personal ensure and security that is in the form charges on assets.
