About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner utilises an asset that they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a business asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The majority of the lenders even the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
What do I require security for an company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do need a personal guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as specified in your loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 typically, you will need an individual guarantee and security in the form a charge over assets.
