About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner utilises an asset that they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home, or an business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of banks, even the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Do I need security to secure an company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access However, we do need the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as detailed in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed.
