About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner utilises the assets they have to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of banks, including the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new financing by using the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to get an business loan?
For loans up to $150K the requirement for asset security is not required before you are able to access the money however, we do require the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans of over $150K generally there is an individual guarantee and security in the form of the charge of assets.
