About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner utilises an asset they own to make the funding. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or a company asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of the lenders not just the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
What do I require security for an business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 no asset security is required before you are able to access the money but we do need the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as stipulated in the loan contract), asset security is not needed. For loans of over $150,000 typically, you will need a personal ensure and security in the form charges on assets.
