About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner borrows from assets they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or an company property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, including the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence it is means of securing additional financing using the value of what you already own.
Do I require security to get an business loan?
Up to $150K in loans it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access However, we do require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as stated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, there is a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
