About business loans

What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?

Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner makes use of the assets they have to obtain a loan. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.

The majority of lenders, including the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing using the value of what you already have.

What do I require security for an company loan?

For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stated in your loan contract document) the security of assets is not required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, you can get an individual guarantee and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
