About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner uses an asset that they own to make the loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or a company asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of the lenders including the major banks, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I need security for a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access, however we do require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as specified in the loan contract), asset security is not required. For loans that exceed $150K, typically, you will need personal ensure and security in the form of charges on assets.
