About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner makes use of an asset they own to make the funding. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or a business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, even the big banks, tend to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
What do I need security to secure an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access, however we do need an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as detailed in your loan contract document), asset security will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, there is a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
