About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner borrows from the assets they have to secure the loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an company asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of banks, including the big banks, tend to make loans secured by assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already own.
Do I need security for an company loan?
Up to $150K in loans it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money but we do need an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as stated in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally there is an individual guarantee and security that is in the form an asset charge.
