About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner uses assets they own to obtain a loan. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an business asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lenders, even the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing by using the value of what you already own.
What do I need security to get an business loan?
For loans up to $150K no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access However, we do need an individual guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150,000 generally there is an individual ensure and security in the form a charge over assets.
