About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner utilises an asset that they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of banks, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
Do I require security to secure an company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money but we do require an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract document), asset security is not required. For loans over $150K generally, you can get a personal guarantee and security in the form charges on assets.
