About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an company owner uses the assets they have to get the funding. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an company asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to secure an business loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access but we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as specified in the loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally there is a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
