About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner uses the assets they have to obtain the loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home, or a company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lenders, including the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is means of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I require security to secure an business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require a personal guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as detailed in your loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, there is a personal ensure and security in the form charges on assets.
