About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner utilises the assets they have to get the loan. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home, or it could be a business asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the big banks, tend to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Are I need security to get a business loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans there is no requirement for asset security before you are able to access the money but we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as stated in your loan contract), asset security is not required. For loans of over $150,000 generally there is a personal ensure and security in the form of the charge of assets.
