About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner borrows from an asset they own to get the loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a business asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of the lenders including the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new financing by making use of the value of what you already own.
Do I require security to secure an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required before you can access the money but we do need the personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as detailed in the loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally there is the option of a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
