About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner utilises the assets they have to secure the funding. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or a business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of banks, including the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Do I need security for a company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as stated in the loan contract) Asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150,000 generally there is the option of a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
