About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner utilises an asset they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home, or a company property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, not just the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I need security to secure a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access however, we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans of over $150,000 generally there is a personal guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
