About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner borrows from the assets they have to secure the loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home or an company asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of banks, including the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new funding using the value of what you already own.
Should I require security for an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money but we do require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as specified in the loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150K generally, there is personal ensure and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
