About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner utilises the assets they have to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a business asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of the lenders even the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
Do I need security to get an company loan?
For loans up to $150K no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans of over $150K typically, you will need personal guarantee and security that is in the form charges on assets.
