About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the business owner borrows from an asset that they own to make the loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or a company asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lenders, including the big banks, tend to make loans secured by assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new funding using the value of what you already have.
Should I require security to get a business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 no asset security is required before you are able to access the money however, we do need the personal guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as detailed in the loan contract), asset security is not needed.
