About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner uses assets they own to obtain a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a business asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the big banks, tend to make loans secured by assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
Do I need security to get a business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access however, we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as detailed in the loan contract) the security of assets is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 typically, you will need personal ensure and security in the form a charge over assets.
