About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner utilises assets they own to secure a loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home or an business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lenders, including the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I require security for an company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access however, we do need an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as stated in your loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150,000 typically, you will need the option of a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
