About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner borrows from assets they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or an business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lenders, even the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new funding making use of the value of what you already own.
What do I need security for an company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access, however we do need the personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as stated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans over $150,000 generally, you can get personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
