About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner utilises an asset that they own to secure a loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home, or a business asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lenders, including the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to secure a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do need the personal guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as detailed in your loan contract document) the security of assets is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, there is personal ensure and security that is in the form an asset charge.
