About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the business owner uses assets they own to secure the funding. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders not just the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence it is means of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Do I need security to secure an company loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security before you can access the money however, we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract document) the security of assets is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally there is an individual ensure and security in the form of the charge of assets.
