About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner borrows from assets they own to make the funding. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or it could be a company asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of banks, not just the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing additional financing using the value of what you already have.
What do I need security to get a business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access however, we do require a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as stated in your loan contract document), asset security is not required. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally there is an individual guarantee and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
