About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner utilises assets they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or a business asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, including the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
What do I need security to get an business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets before you are able to access the money, however we do need the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as specified in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally there is personal ensure and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
