About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner makes use of assets they own to get a loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a business asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The majority of the lenders including the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
What do I require security to secure a company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money but we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as detailed in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 typically, you will need an individual ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
