About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner utilises an asset that they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a business asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of the lenders not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Are I require security to get an company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money but we do need the personal guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as specified in the loan contract), asset security is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally there is personal ensure and security in the form of charges on assets.
