About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner uses assets they own to obtain a loan. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home, or it could be a business asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The majority of the lenders not just the big banks, tend to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
What do I need security for an business loan?
For loans up to $150K the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access, however we do require a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as stated in the loan contract) the security of assets is not required. For loans of over $150K generally, you can get a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
