About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the business owner utilises assets they own to secure the funding. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or it could be a business asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, including the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing additional financing making use of the value of what you already have.
Should I require security to get a company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required before you are able to access the money but we do need the personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract) Asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150K, typically, you will need an individual ensure and security in the form of charges on assets.
