About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner utilises an asset that they own to secure the loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home, or an company asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, including the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Do I require security to get an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security before you are able to access the money but we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally there is the option of a personal guarantee and security in the form of charges on assets.
