About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner uses the assets they have to make the funds for a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or an company property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of banks, including the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Do I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security 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 the loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, there is an individual ensure and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
