About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner makes use of an asset they own to secure a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home or an company asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders not just the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence, it is means of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
Do I require security to get a business loan?
Up to $150K in loans there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money but we do need the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as detailed in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans of over $150K generally there is the option of a personal ensure and security in the form of a charge over assets.
