About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner uses an asset that they own to make a loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an business asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lenders, not just the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Do I need security for a business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require a personal guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as stated in your loan contract document), asset security will never be required. For loans over $150,000 typically, you will need personal ensure and security in the form charges on assets.
