About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the business owner utilises assets they own to obtain a loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home or a business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of banks, even the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is a way of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Do I need security to get a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds however, we do require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as detailed in your loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150K generally there is personal ensure and security that is in the form an asset charge.
