About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner utilises an asset that they own to get the funding. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, not just the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new financing by using the value of what you already have.
Should I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access however, we do need an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as specified in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans over $150K typically, you will need personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
