About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a business owner utilises assets they own to secure the loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home, or a company asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lenders, even the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already own.
Should I require security to secure a company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as stipulated in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, you are able to get personal ensure and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
