About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a business owner utilises an asset they own to secure a loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home or an company asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of banks, even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new financing by using the value of what you already have.
Should I need security to get an company loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money, however we do require a personal guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as detailed in the loan contract) the security of assets is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K typically, you will need personal ensure and security in the form a charge over assets.
