About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner utilises an asset they own to secure a loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home or a business asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of banks, not just the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
Should I need security for a company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access, however we do need the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans that exceed $150K, typically, you will need an individual guarantee and security that is in the form charges on assets.
