About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner borrows from the assets they have to secure the loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a company property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of the lenders including the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing by making use of the value of what you already own.
Do I need security for an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access However, we do need a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as detailed in the loan contract), asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally there is a personal ensure and security in the form of the charge of assets.
