About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner utilises an asset that they own to secure the loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home or an company asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing by using the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to get a company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 no asset security is required before you can access the money, however we do need a personal guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as stipulated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, you are able to get a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
