About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the company owner utilises an asset they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a business asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lenders, even the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
What do I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access, however we do need the personal guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as stated in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally there is the option of a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
