About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the business owner utilises assets they own to obtain the loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or an company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lending institutions, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.
What do I require security to get an business loan?
For loans up to $150K no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access, however we do need an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract) the security of assets is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K typically, you will need the option of a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
