About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a company owner uses an asset that they own to make a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home or an business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of the lenders including the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already own.
Do I need security for a company loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money, however we do require a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as detailed in your loan contract) the security of assets is not required. For loans of over $150,000 generally there is the option of a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
