About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner utilises an asset they own to obtain the loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The majority of the lenders even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
What do I require security to get a business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access However, we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as detailed in your loan contract document), asset security will never be required. For loans over $150,000 typically, you will need a personal guarantee and security in the form charges on assets.
