About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner utilises assets they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home, or a business asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of banks, not just the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I need security for a business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access but we do require a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as stipulated in the loan contract) Asset security is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, you can get an individual guarantee and security that is in the form charges on assets.
