About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner uses the assets they have to secure the funds for a loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home or an business property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of banks, not just the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing using the value of what you already have.
Do I need security to secure an business loan?
Up to $150K in loans no asset security is required before you can access the money, however we do require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as specified in the loan contract) Asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150,000 typically, you will need the option of a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
