About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner makes use of assets they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home or it could be a company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lenders, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it is means of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
What do I require security to secure a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, there is no requirement for asset security before you are able to access the money, however we do need the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, you can get personal ensure and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
