About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a company owner uses an asset they own to make the funding. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home or a company asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of banks, even the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Are I need security for an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money but we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as detailed in the loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, there is personal ensure and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
