About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner utilises assets they own to get the funding. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or it could be a business asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of banks, not just the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Are I require security for a company loan?
Up to $150K in loans the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require a personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150,000 generally, there is an individual ensure and security in the form of the charge of assets.
