About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner utilises an asset they own to obtain the funding. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home or a company asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of banks, not just the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
Are I need security to secure an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money, however we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as stated in your loan contract document), asset security is not required. For loans of over $150,000 generally, you can get the option of a personal guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
