About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner utilises assets they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The majority of lenders, including the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing additional financing making use of the value of what you already have.
What do I need security to secure a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required before you can access the money but we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract) Asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150K generally, you can get the option of a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
