About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner uses an asset that they own to secure the funding. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or a business asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The majority of the lenders not just the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new funding using the value of what you already have.
Should I need security to get an business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds, however we require a personal guarantee. need an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally there is personal guarantee and security in the form of the charge of assets.
