About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner borrows from assets they own to obtain the funding. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home or an business property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of the lenders including the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing additional financing using the value of what you already have.
Should I need security for an business loan?
Up to $150K in loans there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access, however we do need an individual guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as detailed in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally there is personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
