About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner utilises the assets they have to get a loan. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or a company asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of the lenders not just the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
Do I need security for a business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required before you are able to access the money However, we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as specified in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required.
