About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner utilises assets they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home, or a business asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new funding making use of the value of what you already have.
Should I need security to get a company loan?
Up to $150K in loans the requirement for asset security is not required before you are able to access the money but we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as detailed in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans over $150,000 typically, you will need a personal ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
