About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner utilises an asset that they own to obtain the loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a company property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lending institutions, not just the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I need security for an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access However, we do require an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stated in your loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans over $150K generally, there is personal ensure and security that is in the form an asset charge.
