About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner borrows from an asset they own to get the funding. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a company asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders not just the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new funding using the value of what you already own.
Do I require security for an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required before you are able to access the money but we do require an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150K generally, there is an individual ensure and security in the form charges on assets.
