About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the company owner makes use of an asset that they own to make the loan. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a business property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lenders, not just the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is means of securing new financing using the value of what you already own.
Should I need security to get an business loan?
For loans up to $150K the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as stated in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need personal guarantee and security in the form a charge over assets.
