About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner utilises an asset that they own to make the funding. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home or it could be a company property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing using the value of what you already have.
Are I need security to get an business loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security before you can access the money, however we do need an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as stipulated in the loan contract), asset security is not required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, you can get personal ensure and security in the form of charges on assets.
