About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the business owner borrows from an asset they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home or an company property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders including the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I require security to secure a company loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money but we do need an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans over $150K generally, there is the option of a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
