About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner uses assets they own to make the loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home or a business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of banks, including the major banks, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure additional financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Are I require security for a business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money, however we do require a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as detailed in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally there is the option of a personal ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
