About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner utilises assets they own to secure a loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home, or an business asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, not just the big banks, tend to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new funding using the value of what you already have.
Do I need security to get an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access However, we do need a personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as specified in your loan contract document), asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150K generally, you can get the option of a personal guarantee and security in the form the charge of assets.
