About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner utilises an asset that they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home or a business asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, including the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing making use of the value of what you already have.
Should I require security to secure an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money but we do require a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as stated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans of over $150K typically, you will need the option of a personal ensure and security in the form the charge of assets.
