About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner utilises the assets they have to obtain the funding. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home, or a company property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Are I require security to secure a company loan?
For loans up to $150K the requirement for asset security is not required before you are able to access the money but we do require an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stipulated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150,000 generally there is the option of a personal ensure and security in the form of a charge over assets.
