About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner uses the assets they have to obtain the funding. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a business asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The majority of lenders, even the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence it is means of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
Do I require security to secure a company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money but we do require a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as specified in your loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally there is a personal ensure and security in the form a charge over assets.
