About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner makes use of an asset that they own to obtain a loan. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an company asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, not just the major banks, prefer to guarantee 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 an opportunity to secure new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Are I need security for a company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access but we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans of over $150K generally there is a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
