About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner borrows from assets they own to make the loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home or an company property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of banks, even the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Do I require security to secure an business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets before you are able to access the money but we do require a personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as detailed in your loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150K typically, you will need an individual guarantee and security that is in the form the charge of assets.
