About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the company owner uses the assets they have to obtain a loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or an business asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of the lenders not just the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing additional financing making use of the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to get an business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets before you can access the money, however we do require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as detailed in your loan contract document) the security of assets is not required. For loans of over $150,000 generally, you are able to get personal ensure and security in the form of the charge of assets.
