About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner utilises the assets they have to get the loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home, or an business asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of banks, even the big banks, tend to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new funding using the value of what you already have.
Should I need security to get an company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds However, we do need a personal guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as stated in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans of over $150,000 generally there is personal guarantee and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
