About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the business owner utilises an asset that they own to get a loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home or an company asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, including the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new funding making use of the value of what you already have.
Are I require security to secure an company loan?
For loans up to $150K the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money however, we do require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, you can get an individual ensure and security in the form of a charge over assets.
