About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner uses assets they own to obtain a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of banks, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new funding using the value of what you already have.
Should I require security for a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access but we do require a personal guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as specified in the loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K typically, you will need an individual ensure and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
