About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner utilises an asset that they own to obtain the loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home or an company asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The majority of lenders, including the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already own.
Do I require security for a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access However, we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract document) the security of assets is not required. For loans over $150K typically, you will need a personal guarantee and security that is in the form charges on assets.
