About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an company owner utilises assets they own to obtain the loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a company property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, including the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing by using the value of what you already have.
Are I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds however, we do require a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as specified in the loan contract), asset security will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally there is personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
