About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner makes use of an asset they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing using the value of what you already have.
Should I need security for a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money but we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as stated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150,000 generally there is an individual guarantee and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
