About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner utilises an asset they own to make a loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lenders, even the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is means of securing new funding using the value of what you already have.
Are I need security to secure a 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 need a personal guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as stipulated in the loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150,000 generally, there is the option of a personal ensure and security in the form a charge over assets.
