About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an company owner borrows from assets they own to obtain the funding. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or an company asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of the lenders even the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Do I need security to secure a business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need the personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as detailed in your loan contract document), asset security is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally there is a personal ensure and security in the form a charge over assets.
