About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the business owner makes use of an asset they own to secure the loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a business asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lenders, not just the major banks, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new funding using the value of what you already own.
What do I require security to secure a business loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do need the personal guarantee.
