About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a company owner utilises the assets they have to secure the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a company asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lenders, including the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing using the value of what you already own.
Do I require security for an company loan?
Up to $150K in loans there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money but we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as stated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, there is personal ensure and security in the form of the charge of assets.
