About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner makes use of an asset they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home or a company property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, not just the major banks, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
What do I require security to secure an business loan?
Up to $150K in loans there is no requirement for asset security before you are able to access the money, however we do need a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as specified in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans over $150K generally there is a personal guarantee and security in the form the charge of assets.
