About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner makes use of the assets they have to secure a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or a business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of the lenders including the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Are I need security to secure a business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access but we do need an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as detailed in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally there is an individual guarantee and security in the form a charge over assets.
