About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a business owner uses assets they own to obtain the loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or it could be a business asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, including the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing additional financing making use of the value of what you already have.
What do I require security for a company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access but we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as specified in your loan contract) Asset security will never be required. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally there is an individual ensure and security in the form charges on assets.
