About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the business owner uses the assets they have to make the funding. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a business property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of banks, even the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
What do I require security to secure a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access, however we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as specified in the loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, you are able to get the option of a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
