About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner borrows from an asset that they own to make a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or an company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The majority of banks, including the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
Are I need security for an business loan?
For loans up to $150K no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need a personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as detailed in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, you can get an individual guarantee and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
