About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner borrows from assets they own to secure the funding. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home, or an business asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of the lenders not just the big banks, tend to secure loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new funding making use of the value of what you already have.
Do I require security for a business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, no asset security is required upfront to access the money, however we do need an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as stipulated in the loan contract) the security of assets is not required. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, there is a personal guarantee and security that is in the form the charge of assets.
