About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the company owner uses an asset they own to obtain the loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home, or a business asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The majority of the lenders not just the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already own.
Do I require security to secure a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access however, we do need a personal guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as detailed in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150K typically, you will need personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
