About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner makes use of an asset that they own to get a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home or a business asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of banks, not just the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
Do I need security to get a company loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security before you can access the money but we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as stated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans over $150,000 typically, you will need the option of a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
