About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term “asset-based” refers to borrowing where an business owner utilises an asset they own to make the funding. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or a company asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lenders, not just the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Are I need security to secure an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security before you are able to access the money however, we do require a personal guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as detailed in your loan contract), asset security will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 typically, you will need personal ensure and security in the form of charges on assets.
