About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner uses the assets they have to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home, or a business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lenders, even the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
What do I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans up to $150K the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150K typically, you will need an individual guarantee and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
