About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner uses assets they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home, or a company asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lenders, including the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I need security to get a company loan?
For loans up to $150K no asset security is required upfront to access the money However, we do need a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as detailed in the loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need a personal ensure and security in the form an asset charge.
