About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the company owner makes use of assets they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home, or an company asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of the lenders including the big banks, tend to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
What do I need security for a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security before you are able to access the money but we do require a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as stated in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, there is the option of a personal guarantee and security that is in the form an asset charge.
