About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner borrows from an asset they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or an business asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of banks, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new funding making use of the value of what you already have.
What do I need security to secure an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as specified in the loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. For loans of over $150,000 typically, you will need personal ensure and security in the form a charge over assets.
