About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner utilises an asset that they own to get the loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home, or a business asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders even the big banks, tend to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Are I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access but we do require a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as specified in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans of over $150,000 generally there is a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
