About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner utilises an asset that they own to secure the loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home, or an company asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of banks, even the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Do I need security to secure a business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required upfront to access the money however, we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as specified in the loan contract), asset security is not needed. For loans over $150K generally, there is an individual guarantee and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
