What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?

Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner uses an asset they own to secure a loan. The asset can be the family home, or another type of real estate.

The vast majority of lenders, including the big banks, tend to secure loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing by using the value of what you already have.

The total amount of your loan will depend on the specific circumstances of your business. We look at a variety of factors to determine the health of your business and based on this information, we may be able to provide you a loan amount up to $250,000 for unsecured loans, and depending on the equity in real estate, up to $2,000,000 for Secured Short Term Business (caveat) Loans.

Fee’s and Repayments

We don’t charge interest because terms are usually less than 24 months. Instead we offer a factor rate. A factor rate is expressed as a decimal figure not a percent. It varies based on your industry, how long you have been in business, the health of your cash flow and other factors. When a factor rate is used, interest is charged to the principal when the loan is originated, it doesn’t compound.

These loans are a charged in monthly blocks, as they are only for a short term. The rate varies depending on the loan amount, security location, loan term , etc. However you can be assured that with Quik Loans, there are NO hidden costs. We are fully transparent with our costings, once we have seen the loan application. Within 2 business hours of receiving your application, we will come back to you with the exact costs for the amount and loan term that you have asked for.

We know fees can be confusing so we made it simple and transparent – there are no hidden fees and the amount due from day one includes the establishment fee. There are no additional fees (excluding any late payment or default fees) and no penalties for early repayment.

There are no fees for early repayment and no balloon payment at the end of your loan. We are totally transparent with our customers about the total amount due and the date of the final payment. Once you make the final payment your balance will be $0.

It’s important to offer you easy ways to pay back your loan. For our Unsecured Business Loans, to help you avoid missing repayments we offer daily, weekly or fortnightly repayments that are automatically deducted from your nominated business account.

For our Secured Short Term Business Loans, all fee’s and interest are capitalised into the loan and paid out at the end of the term, when the loan is repaid in full. So there are NO REPAYMENTS during the loan term.
