About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the business owner utilises assets they own to obtain a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or it could be a business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Are I require security to secure an business loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security before you are able to access the money but we do require a personal guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as detailed in your loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150,000 generally, you are able to get a personal guarantee and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
