About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner uses an asset they own to make a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or a company asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lenders, even the big banks, tend to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
What do I need security for an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access but we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as stated in your loan contract document) the security of assets is not needed. For loans over $150K generally there is a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
