About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner borrows from the assets they have to obtain a loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of banks, even the major banks, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I require security to get a company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access but we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as stated in the loan contract) Asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, there is a personal guarantee and security in the form of the charge of assets.
