About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner borrows from an asset they own to obtain the funding. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, not just the major banks, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.
Should I need security to get a company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans there is no requirement for asset security before you can access the money, however we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract document), asset security is not required. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally there is a personal ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
