About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner utilises the assets they have to secure the funds for a loan. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home or it could be a company asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, including the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing additional financing making use of the value of what you already have.
Should I require security to get a business loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access, however we do require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as stated in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans over $150K generally there is the option of a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
