About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner utilises an asset that they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home, or an business asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lending institutions, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing by using the value of what you already own.
Do I require security to get an business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access, however we do require a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as specified in your loan contract), asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally there is a personal ensure and security in the form an asset charge.
