About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner utilises the assets they have to make the funding. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home, or an business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of the lenders including the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already have.

For loans that exceed $150K, there is no requirement for asset security before you can access the money however, we do need an individual guarantee. If you adhere to 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, you are able to get the option of a personal ensure and security in the form charges on assets.
