About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner uses an asset that they own to make the funding. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a business asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Do I require security to get an company loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access, however we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as stated in your loan contract document) the security of assets is not required. For loans over $150K generally, there is a personal ensure and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
