About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner uses the assets they have to obtain the loan. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or a company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, including the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is means of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I need security to get a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, no asset security is required upfront to access the money however, we do require an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as specified in your loan contract document), asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need a personal ensure and security in the form of the charge of assets.
