About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner uses an asset that they own to get the funding. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home or it could be a company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of the lenders not just the big banks, tend to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new financing making use of the value of what you already have.
What do I need security for a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need a personal guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract document) the security of assets is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, you are able to get a personal guarantee and security in the form of a charge over assets.
