About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an company owner utilises the assets they have to get the funding. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home, or an business asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lenders, including the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already own.
Should I require security to get an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as stipulated in the loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150,000 generally, there is personal ensure and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
