About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner utilises assets they own to obtain the funding. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or a company asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it is a way of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
What do I require security for an business loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security before you are able to access the money however, we do need the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as stipulated in the loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150,000 typically, you will need the option of a personal ensure and security that is in the form the charge of assets.
