About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner uses an asset they own to get the loan. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or a company property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of the lenders even the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
What do I need security for an company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access however, we do require the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150,000 generally, you can get a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
