About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner makes use of an asset they own to make the funding. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or an company asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lending institutions, not just the big banks, tend to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to get an business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 there is no requirement for asset security before you can access the money but we do require a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract document) the security of assets is not required. For loans of over $150,000 generally, there is personal ensure and security in the form a charge over assets.
