About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner utilises assets they own to obtain a loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or a company asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of banks, even the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
What do I need security to secure a business loan?
Up to $150K in loans there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money, however we do require a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, there is an individual guarantee and security in the form of an asset charge.
