About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a business owner utilises an asset they own to secure a loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home, or an business property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, even the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I require security for a business loan?
Up to $150K in loans there is no requirement for asset security before you can access the money however, we do need a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as stated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150,000 generally there is a personal ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
