About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the business owner utilises an asset that they own to make the loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a company property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of the lenders even the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is means of securing new financing making use of the value of what you already have.
What do I require security to get a business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money but we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as specified in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required.
