What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner utilises assets they own to obtain the loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home or an business asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, even the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing additional financing using the value of what you already own.
Are I require security for a company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do need a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as specified in your loan contract) the security of assets will never be required.
