About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the business owner utilises an asset that they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders including the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new funding using the worth of the asset you already own.
Should I need security to get a company loan?
Up to $150K in loans no asset security is required before you are able to access the money but we do require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as detailed in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans over $150K generally, there is an individual guarantee and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
