About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the business owner uses the assets they have to obtain the funding. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, including the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.
Do I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required before you can access the money, however we do require a personal guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract), asset security will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 typically, you will need the option of a personal guarantee and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
