About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner uses assets they own to secure a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or a business asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of banks, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
What do I require security for a business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money but we do need the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150K typically, you will need the option of a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
