About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner utilises an asset they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or an business asset such as a vehicle 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 are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence it is means of securing additional financing making use of the value of what you already own.
Are I require security to secure a business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as specified in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans over $150,000 generally, there is personal ensure and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
