About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner utilises an asset they own to make the funding. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home, or a business asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of the lenders even the major banks, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to secure a company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as detailed in the loan contract), asset security will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally there is the option of a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
