About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner utilises the assets they have to secure the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lenders, including the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
What do I need security to secure an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access but we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as detailed in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be required. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, you are able to get a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
