About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a business owner borrows from the assets they have to make the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an company asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I need security to get an business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access but we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract document), asset security will never be required. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally there is the option of a personal ensure and security in the form of a charge over assets.
