About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner borrows from an asset they own to get the loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home or a business asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already own.
Are I require security to get a business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, there is no requirement for asset security before you are able to access the money, however we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract document) the security of assets is not required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, there is an individual ensure and security in the form a charge over assets.
