About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner utilises the assets they have to get the funding. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or an company asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Are I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds however, we do require a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as stipulated in your loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. For loans of over $150,000 generally, you are able to get personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
