About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner uses the assets they have to obtain the funding. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home or a business asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, even the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I require security to secure an business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access, however we do require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need a personal ensure and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
