About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner utilises assets they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a business asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
What do I require security to secure an business loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access however, we do require the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as detailed in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, there is the option of a personal ensure and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
