About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an company owner borrows from an asset that they own to obtain a loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home or a company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders including the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I require security to secure an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money however, we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stated in the loan contract) the security of assets is not required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, you can get a personal ensure and security in the form a charge over assets.
