About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the company owner utilises an asset that they own to make a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
What do I need security for a business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access however, we do need the personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as stated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans over $150,000 generally, there is a personal ensure and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
