About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner borrows from the assets they have to obtain the funding. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or an company asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, including the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
What do I need security to get an business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, no asset security is required before you are able to access the money, however we do require a personal guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as specified in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans of over $150K generally, there is personal guarantee and security in the form of an asset charge.
