About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner borrows from an asset they own to secure a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or it could be a business asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of banks, including the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Should I require security to get an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds however, we do require an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as specified in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150K generally, there is an individual guarantee and security in the form a charge over assets.
