About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner utilises assets they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home, or an company asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lending institutions, not just the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Do I require security for an company loan?
Up to $150K in loans the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as stipulated in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, there is a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
