About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner borrows from the assets they have to obtain 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 or other piece of machinery.
The majority of the lenders not just the major banks, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already own.
Are I require security to secure a company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money but we do need an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as detailed in your loan contract document), asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, there is a personal guarantee and security in the form of charges on assets.
