About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner utilises assets they own to get the loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or a company asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, even the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I require security to secure a business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money but we do need the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as specified in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, you can get the option of a personal ensure and security that is in the form the charge of assets.
