About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner borrows from assets they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home, or a business asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders not just the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble 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.
Should I require security to get an business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as detailed in your loan contract document), asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150,000 generally there is a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
