About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner borrows from an asset that they own 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 property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lenders, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Do I need security to get an business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as stipulated in the loan contract), asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally there is a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
