About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner borrows from an asset they own to obtain the loan. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of the lenders not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new financing using the value of what you already own.
What do I require security to get an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access, however we do need the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as stipulated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K typically, you will need a personal ensure and security that is in the form the charge of assets.
