About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner borrows from the assets they have to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I need security to secure a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access but we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as stipulated in the loan contract) Asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally there is personal guarantee and security in the form of charges on assets.
