About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner uses the assets they have to secure the loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or a company asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of the lenders including the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
What do I require security to secure a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money but we do need an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as specified in the loan contract) Asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need a personal ensure and security that is in the form an asset charge.
