About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner uses assets they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lenders, even the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is means of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
What do I require security to secure a business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract) Asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally there is a personal ensure and security in the form a charge over assets.
