About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner borrows from assets they own to get a loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a company asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lenders, even the big banks, tend to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Are I need security to get an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do need the personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as stated in your loan contract document), asset security will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 typically, you will need a personal ensure and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
