About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner utilises an asset they own to get the loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home or an company asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Do I require security to secure a company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, there is no requirement for asset security before you can access the money but we do need the personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as stipulated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans over $150,000 generally there is the option of a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
