About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a company owner uses the assets they have to make a loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home or a business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of banks, not just the big banks, tend to secure loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure additional financing using the value of what you already have.
What do I need security to get a company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract document), asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, there is the option of a personal ensure and security that is in the form an asset charge.
