About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the business owner borrows from assets they own to make the funding. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home or an company asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lending institutions, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Do I need security for a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, no asset security is required before you are able to access the money but we do need a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as detailed in your loan contract document), asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150,000 typically, you will need the option of a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
