About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner borrows from the assets they have to obtain a loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home, or it could be a business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of banks, not just the big banks, tend to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence it is means of securing new financing using the value of what you already have.
What do I need security to secure a business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 no asset security is required before you are able to access the money, however we do need an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as detailed in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans over $150,000 typically, you will need an individual guarantee and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
