About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an company owner makes use of an asset they own to secure the funding. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home or a business asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, even the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.
Should I require security to get an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, no asset security is required upfront to access the money but we do require an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as stipulated in your loan contract document) the security of assets is not required. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, there is a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
