About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner borrows from an asset they own to secure the loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The majority of banks, including the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing additional financing making use of the value of what you already have.
Are I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money, however we do need the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need personal guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
