About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner borrows from an asset they own to make a loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a business asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of banks, including the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
What do I need security for an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, no asset security is required before you can access the money but we do need a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans over $150K generally there is the option of a personal ensure and security in the form of a charge over assets.
