About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner uses an asset they own to get the loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or it could be a company asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of banks, not just the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence it is means of securing additional financing making use of the value of what you already own.
Should I require security to secure an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money, however we do need the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as specified in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans of over $150K generally, there is personal ensure and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
