About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner makes use of the assets they have to get the funds for a loan. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The majority of the lenders not just the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new funding using the value of what you already have.
Do I need security for a business loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as stated in your loan contract document), asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally there is the option of a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
