About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a business owner utilises an asset that they own to get the loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home or a business asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of the lenders not just the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new funding using the value of what you already have.
What do I require security for a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds however, we do require a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as stipulated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need a personal guarantee and security that is in the form an asset charge.
