About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner utilises assets they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
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 offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new funding making use of the value of what you already have.
Are I need security for an business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as specified in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150,000 generally, you are able to get the option of a personal ensure and security in the form of the charge of assets.
