About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the company owner utilises assets they own to obtain a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home or it could be a business asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of banks, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.
Do I need security to get a business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 no asset security is required upfront to access the money, however we do need an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as detailed in your loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans over $150K generally there is a personal guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
