About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner utilises the assets they have to make the loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or a company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of banks, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new funding using the value of what you already own.
Should I require security to secure a business loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access but we do need a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract) Asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally there is an individual ensure and security in the form of charges on assets.
