Types of Commercial/Business Loans
In Australia, some regulations classify commercial loans according to several criteria.
Firstly, they are divided into secured and non-secured loans.
The first group is referred to those that require some sort of collateral guarantee as a requirement to be approved.
Such guarantees may include but are not limited to mortgage, personal support, and others.
On the other hand, non-secured loans do not require any sort of guarantee and are usually granted for lower amounts and higher interest rates.
Another classification is related to the size of the business that requires the loan.
This classification is essential because it sets the limits of the amounts you can request and many other benefits or restrictions.
For instance, small business loans have the Small Business Administration (SBA) loan program that gives access to long terms and lower interests that traditional loans.
Moreover, it offers different types of loans, such as Export loans, Disaster loans, and Express loans, all of which can be loans for non-residents.
In other words, an overseas borrower can access them.
