About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner borrows from assets they own to obtain the loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a company property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I require security to secure a company loan?
Up to $150K in loans it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access but we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as detailed in your loan contract document) the security of assets is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, there is a personal guarantee and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
