About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner borrows from an asset they own to secure a loan. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home or an company asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of the lenders including the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing by using the value of what you already own.
What do I need security for a company loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security before you are able to access the money However, we do require a personal guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as detailed in the loan contract), asset security will never be required.
