About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner utilises assets they own to secure the loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home, or an business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lenders, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Are I need security for a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets before you are able to access the money, however we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as detailed in the loan contract) Asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150K typically, you will need personal guarantee and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
