About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the business owner utilises assets they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home or an company asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lenders, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new financing using the value of what you already own.
Should I need security to get an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds but we require a personal guarantee. require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as detailed in your loan contract document), asset security is not required. For loans of over $150K generally there is an individual ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
