About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner borrows from an asset that 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 business asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of the lenders not just the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
What do I require security to get an business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as stated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, you can get an individual ensure and security in the form the charge of assets.
