About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner utilises an asset that they own to obtain the loan. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or a business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, including the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Do I need security to secure a business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required before you are able to access the money but we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as detailed in the loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150K, typically, you will need personal ensure and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
