About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner uses the assets they have to secure the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or a company asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
Should I require security to get a business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as detailed in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans of over $150,000 generally there is an individual guarantee and security in the form of a charge over assets.
