About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner borrows from an asset that they own to secure the funding. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home, or an business asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The majority of lenders, even the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I need security to get a business loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money, however we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as specified in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally there is the option of a personal guarantee and security in the form of the charge of assets.
