About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner utilises an asset they own to get the funding. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or an company asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, including the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing making use of the value of what you already have.
What do I need security to get an business loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money, however we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as detailed in the loan contract), asset security is not required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, you can get personal ensure and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
