About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner borrows from an asset they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or an company asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of banks, even the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I need security to secure an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money however, we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as detailed in your loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150,000 generally, there is an individual ensure and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
