Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner makes use of the assets they have to make the funding. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a company asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders including the big banks, tend to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing by using the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to get an business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans over $150,000 generally there is personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
