About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner borrows from assets they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I require security for a company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans no asset security is required before you can access the money, however we do require a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as detailed in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans of over $150,000 generally, there is an individual guarantee and security in the form a charge over assets.
