About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the business owner uses an asset that they own to obtain the funding. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of the lenders not just the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing by using the value of what you already own.
Do I need security to secure an company loan?
Up to $150K in loans there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans of over $150,000 generally, there is the option of a personal guarantee and security in the form a charge over assets.
