About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner makes use of an asset they own to get the funding. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home or a company property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of the lenders even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing by making use of the value of what you already own.
Should I need security to get a company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 the requirement for asset security is not required before you can access the money but we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as detailed in your loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150K generally, you are able to get an individual ensure and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
