About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner uses an asset that they own to get a loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or it could be a company asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of banks, not just the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
What do I need security for an company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans no asset security is required before you can access the money but we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stipulated in the loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally there is an individual guarantee and security in the form a charge over assets.
