About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the business owner utilises an asset that they own to make a loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or a company asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already own.
Do I require security to secure a business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 the requirement for asset security is not required before you can access the money but we do need an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as detailed in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans over $150K typically, you will need the option of a personal guarantee and security in the form of a charge over assets.
