About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner utilises an asset they own to get the loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home or an company asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the big banks, tend to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to secure an business loan?
Up to $150K in loans the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money, however we do require an individual guarantee.

For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, you are able to get personal ensure and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
