About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner utilises assets they own to make the loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lenders, not just the big banks, tend to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I require security to get an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, no asset security is required before you can access the money, however we do need a personal guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as stipulated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans of over $150K generally there is the option of a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
