About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner utilises an asset they own to make the loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home or a business asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of banks, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new funding making use of the value of what you already have.
What do I need security to secure a business loan?
Up to $150K in loans the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access but we do require a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as specified in the loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150K generally, you can get a personal guarantee and security in the form a charge over assets.
