About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner borrows from an asset that they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or it could be a business asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, including the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing by using the value of what you already own.
Do I require security to secure an company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money, however we do need an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as detailed in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150K typically, you will need the option of a personal ensure and security in the form of charges on assets.
