About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner utilises assets they own to make a loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a business asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of the lenders including the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new funding using the value of what you already own.
Do I require security for a company loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access However, we do need an individual guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as stated in the loan contract) the security of assets is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K typically, you will need an individual guarantee and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
