About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner uses an asset that they own to get the funding. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or a business asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing using the value of what you already have.
Are I require security to get a business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access However, we do need the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as specified in your loan contract document) Asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150,000 typically, you will need personal ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
