About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the business owner utilises an asset that they own to get a loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home or an company asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of the lenders not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Do I require security for a business loan?
Up to $150K in loans the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds however, we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as specified in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans over $150K typically, you will need personal ensure and security in the form of a charge over assets.
