About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the business owner utilises an asset that they own to get the funding. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home, or an business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders not just the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. 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 additional financing using the value of what you already have.
Do I need security to get an company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access but we do require a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, there is personal ensure and security in the form charges on assets.
