About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a company owner uses the assets they have to get the loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or an company asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of the lenders not just the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.
Should I need security to get an company loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money but we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as specified in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans of over $150,000 generally, you are able to get personal ensure and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
