About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner makes use of the assets they have to make the funding. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home or a business asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lenders, including the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then the asset could 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 own.
Do I need security to get an business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access, however we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as specified in the loan contract), asset security is not required. For loans over $150,000 generally there is personal ensure and security in the form of a charge over assets.
