Secured term loan

A secured term loan is a type of financing where you use an assets as security. This reduces the risk for lenders, often resulting in lower interest rates, longer terms, and higher loan amounts.

You can borrow anywhere from $10,000 to over $1,000,000 with a secured term loan.

The most common form of collateral for a secured term loan is a property that you own, which can be commercial, rural or residential. Other options include personal assets of high value, equipment, vehicles, trucks, and even the equity within your business, although these are not as common.

With Valiant, secured finance interest rates start from 7% p.a., but the exact rate you receive may vary based on factors like your credit profile, loan amount, and asset used.

If you default, the lender can take possession of the asset used as collateral, and sell it to recover the debt. Defaulting can also negatively impact your credit score and future borrowing power.

Some loans are ‘secured,’ meaning you use an asset—like a van or a commercial property—to back the deal. It gives the lender more confidence, which usually means a better rate for you. As a borrower, having an asset on the line is a good incentive to make repayments on time.

Whether a lender asks for collateral usually comes down to your business track record and credit score. Putting your best foot forward and showing off a solid reputation helps you land better loan terms.
