About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner utilises an asset that they own to make the loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home or it could be a company asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lenders, not just the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is the process of securing additional financing using the value of what you already have.
What do I need security to secure an business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, no asset security is required upfront to access the money but we do need an individual guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as detailed in the loan contract) the security of assets is not required. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally there is the option of a personal guarantee and security in the form of a charge over assets.
