About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner uses assets they own to secure the loan. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or a company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the big banks, tend to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I require security to get an company loan?
For loans up to $150K the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access but we do require the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as detailed in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans of over $150,000 generally, you can get the option of a personal ensure and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
