About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner uses assets they own to make the loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home, or an company asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The majority of banks, including the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new financing using the value of what you already own.
Should I require security to get a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security before you are able to access the money but we do require a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans over $150,000 generally there is an individual guarantee and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
