Standard Secured Bank Loan

What is a standard secured bank loan?

A standard business loan is secured against real assets* (vehicle, house, land, commercial premises, or other business assets). As the security on this loan acts as a guarantee for the bank, interest rates are lower.

A standard secured bank loan can be great for raising working capital, purchasing commercial property, expanding, re-financing your business, or anything else.

*The bank will value the asset at the amount they could sell the asset for, not what you think they are worth or what you paid for them.

What do I need to get this type of finance?

  • Property or other business assets are needed as security
  • Good credit history
  • Deposit for assets as required
  • Evidence of a good trading history (profit, balance sheet, etc) relative to the amount borrowed

What are the benefits of a standard bank loan?

  • Borrow more than with an unsecured loan
  • Lower interest rates
  • Options to pay interest only for part of the repayment term (or a variation of this)
  • Options for fixed or variable interest rates or a combination over the term of the loan
