About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a business owner borrows from the assets they have to make the loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home or an company asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new financing using the value of what you already have.
Do I need security to get a company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access but we do need the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract) Asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150,000 generally, there is personal guarantee and security that is in the form the charge of assets.
