About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner utilises an asset that they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or a business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of banks, even the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
Are I need security for a company loan?
Up to $150K in loans it is not necessary to secure assets before you are able to access the money However, we do require a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as stipulated in your loan contract) the security of assets is not required. For loans of over $150,000 generally there is an individual guarantee and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
