About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner borrows from the assets they have to get the loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home, or an business asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The majority of banks, including the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new funding using the value of what you already own.
Are I need security to get a company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access However, we do require a personal guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. For loans over $150,000 generally, you can get an individual ensure and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
