About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner borrows from assets they own to obtain the loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or a business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lenders, not just the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
What do I need security for an company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access but we do require the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as specified in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans over $150,000 typically, you will need an individual ensure and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
