About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the business owner utilises assets they own to get a loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home or an company asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Are I need security to secure an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets before you can access the money, however we do require an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans over $150,000 typically, you will need a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
