About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner utilises assets they own to make the loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home, or a business asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of the lenders including the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new financing by using the value of what you already own.
Do I require security to get a business loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money however, we do require a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as detailed in your loan contract) the security of assets is not required. For loans over $150,000 generally there is the option of a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
