About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner utilises the assets they have to secure the loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home or a company property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of the lenders even the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
What do I need security for a business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as detailed in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans over $150K generally, there is a personal ensure and security that is in the form an asset charge.
