About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the business owner utilises an asset they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home, or a company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lenders, even the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new funding making use of the value of what you already have.
Should I require security to secure a company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as detailed in the loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, there is a personal guarantee and security in the form the charge of assets.
