About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner makes use of the assets they have to make the funds for a loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home or an company asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I need security for an business loan?
For loans up to $150K no asset security is required before you can access the money, however we do require the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150K generally, there is a personal guarantee and security in the form a charge over assets.
