About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner borrows from assets they own to make the loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or an business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lenders, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already own.
What do I need security to get an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money but we do need a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as detailed in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150,000 typically, you will need an individual ensure and security in the form a charge over assets.
