About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the business owner utilises assets they own to get a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or an business property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of banks, including the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new funding making use of the value of what you already have.
What do I require security for an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, no asset security is required before you are able to access the money, however we do require a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans over $150,000 generally there is a personal ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
