About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner uses an asset they own to secure the loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a business asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new financing by using the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to secure a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds However, we do require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as stated in the loan contract), asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need a personal guarantee and security in the form of a charge over assets.
