About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner uses the assets they have to make the funding. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home or a business asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The majority of lenders, even the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing making use of the value of what you already own.
What do I require security to get a business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access but we do need the personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as detailed in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed.
