About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the business owner utilises an asset they own to get the loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a business asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already own.
Are I need security to get an business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require a personal guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as specified in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans over $150K generally, there is a personal ensure and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
