About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner borrows from assets they own to obtain the loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, including the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new financing using the value of what you already have.
Should I require security to secure an business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 it is not necessary to secure assets before you can access the money however, we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as stated in the loan contract), asset security is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally there is personal ensure and security in the form the charge of assets.
