About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner uses the assets they have to get the loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of banks, not just the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already own.
Do I require security for an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access however, we do need the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract), asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, there is a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
