About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner uses the assets they have to secure a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a business asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The majority of the lenders even the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new funding using the value of what you already have.
Are I require security for a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access, however we do need the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, you can get the option of a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
