About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner borrows from assets they own to make the funding. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or an company asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lenders, including the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new funding using the value of what you already have.
Do I need security to get a business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access However, we do need an individual guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as stated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required.
