Secured Term Loan

Overview

A secured business loan is a type of financing where you use an asset, normally property, as collateral (kind of like a home loan). This reduces the risk for lenders, often resulting in lower interest rates, longer terms and higher loan amounts. It's an attractive choice for businesses looking to fund major projects or expand operations while leveraging their existing assets to reduce repayments.
