About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner borrows from the assets they have to secure a loan. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a company property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of banks, including the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access however, we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as specified in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans over $150K generally there is personal ensure and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
