About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner makes use of an asset that they own to make the loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home or a business asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of banks, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new funding using the value of what you already own.
Are I need security to get an company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access but we do need the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150,000 generally, you can get a personal ensure and security in the form of charges on assets.
