About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner utilises assets they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home, or a company asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, including the big banks, tend to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I need security for an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money, however we do require a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stipulated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150K, typically, you will need an individual ensure and security in the form charges on assets.
