About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner borrows from assets they own to make a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a business asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lenders, even the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence, it is means of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I need security to secure a business loan?
Up to $150K in loans there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access, however we do need the personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as detailed in your loan contract document), asset security is not required. For loans of over $150,000 typically, you will need a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
