About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a business owner uses an asset that they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset can be 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 majority of lending institutions, including the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing using the value of what you already own.
What do I need security for an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access however, we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as detailed in your loan contract) the security of assets is not required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, you are able to get personal guarantee and security in the form of a charge over assets.
