About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner utilises the assets they have to secure the funds for a loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of banks, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new funding using the value of what you already own.
Do I require security for a business loan?
For loans up to $150K no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access However, we do require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as detailed in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K typically, you will need personal ensure and security in the form of the charge of assets.
