About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an company owner utilises the assets they have to get the funds for a loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home, or an company asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lenders, not just the big banks, tend to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new funding using the value of what you already have.
Do I need security to get an company loan?
Up to $150K in loans no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract document), asset security is not required. For loans over $150K typically, you will need a personal ensure and security that is in the form an asset charge.
