About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner utilises an asset that they own to make a loan. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, including the big banks, tend to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I require security to get a business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money, however we do require an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as specified in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans over $150,000 generally there is a personal ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
