About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner makes use of assets they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home, or an company asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, even the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Are I need security to secure an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, no asset security is required upfront to access the money, however we do require a personal guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract document) the security of assets is not required. For loans of over $150K generally, you are able to get an individual guarantee and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
