About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner makes use of an asset that they own to secure the funding. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or a company asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
Do I need security for a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, there is no requirement for asset security before you can access the money but we do need a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract) Asset security will never be required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, there is an individual ensure and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
