About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the business owner uses an asset that they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a company asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of the lenders including the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I require security for an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money but we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract), asset security is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 typically, you will need an individual guarantee and security in the form of an asset charge.
