About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an company owner uses an asset that they own to get the funding. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home, or a company asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of the lenders including the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing additional financing using the value of what you already own.
Should I need security for an business loan?
Up to $150K in loans the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do need the personal guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as specified in the loan contract), asset security is not needed. For loans of over $150,000 generally there is personal ensure and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
