About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the business owner utilises assets they own to get the loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home or an company asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of banks, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new funding using the value of what you already have.
Should I require security to secure a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required before you can access the money However, we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K typically, you will need the option of a personal guarantee and security that is in the form charges on assets.
