About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner borrows from assets they own to get a loan. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home or an business asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, even the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Are I require security to get a business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access, however we do need a personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 typically, you will need personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
