About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner utilises the assets they have to make the funds for a loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home or a business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the big banks, tend to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
Should I require security to get an company loan?
Up to $150K in loans the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds however, we do need a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need an individual guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
