About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner borrows from an asset they own to get the loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or it could be a business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, not just the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new funding using the value of what you already own.
Should I need security to secure an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, no asset security is required upfront to access the money however, we do require an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as detailed in your loan contract), asset security is not required. For loans of over $150,000 generally, you are able to get an individual ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
