About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner borrows from an asset that they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home or a business asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of banks, including the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Are I need security for a company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security before you are able to access the money however, we do need a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as detailed in your loan contract document) the security of assets is not needed. For loans over $150K typically, you will need a personal guarantee and security in the form of an asset charge.
