About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a company owner utilises assets they own to secure a loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a company property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Are I need security to secure a business loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access, however we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as specified in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally there is personal ensure and security in the form a charge over assets.
