Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner utilises an asset they own to make the loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home, or an business asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, even the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing additional financing making use of the value of what you already have.
Should I need security to get an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets before you can access the money, however we do require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as detailed in your loan contract document) Asset security is not needed.
