About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner uses assets they own to obtain the loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home, or an company property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, even the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
What do I need security for an company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans the requirement for asset security is not required before you are able to access the money however, we do require the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as detailed in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans of over $150,000 generally, you can get a personal guarantee and security in the form of a charge over assets.
