About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner uses the assets they have to get the loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
What do I need security for an business loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access however, we do require a personal guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as stipulated in the loan contract), asset security is not required. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need a personal ensure and security that is in the form the charge of assets.
