About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner uses the assets they have to obtain a loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home, or a company property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders not just the big banks, tend to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure additional financing using the value of what you already own.
What do I require security to secure a company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money, however we do require a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as stipulated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, you are able to get the option of a personal ensure and security that is in the form an asset charge.
