About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an company owner uses the assets they have to get a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or it could be a company property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lenders, including the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I need security for an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money but we do require a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, there is the option of a personal guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
