About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner utilises an asset that they own to obtain the funding. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or an business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new financing by making use of the value of what you already own.
What do I need security for a company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required before you are able to access the money but we do require a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as specified in your loan contract), asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally there is a personal ensure and security that is in the form charges on assets.
