About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner uses assets they own to make the loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or an business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lenders, not just the major banks, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I require security to get an business loan?
For loans up to $150K no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as detailed in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans over $150,000 generally, you are able to get personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
