About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner utilises an asset they own to get the funding. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home, or a company property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of banks, not just the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money however, we do require a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as detailed in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans that exceed $150K, typically, you will need a personal guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
