About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner utilises an asset they own to get the funding. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a business asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new financing by using the value of what you already have.
What do I need security to get an company loan?
Up to $150K in loans no asset security is required before you are able to access the money, however we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as stated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, you can get personal ensure and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
