About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner borrows from an asset they own to make a loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home, or a company asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of the lenders including the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new financing using the value of what you already own.
Do I need security to get a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need an individual guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as stipulated in the 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 a personal guarantee and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
