About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner makes use of an asset that they own to obtain the funding. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home, or an business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lenders, even the big banks, tend to secure loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new financing by using the value of what you already own.
Do I need security for an company loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets before you can access the money but we do require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as specified in your loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. For loans over $150,000 generally there is a personal ensure and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
