About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner utilises assets they own to obtain the funding. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is means of securing new financing by using the value of what you already own.
Should I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets before you are able to access the money but we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as specified in your loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K typically, you will need a personal guarantee and security in the form of a charge over assets.
