About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner utilises an asset they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a business asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lenders, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it is means of securing new funding using the value of what you already own.
What do I require security for a company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds However, we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as stated in your loan contract) the security of assets is not needed.
