About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner utilises the assets they have to secure the loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home, or a business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders not just the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I need security to get an company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans no asset security is required upfront to access the money, however we do need the personal guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as stated in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans over $150,000 generally, there is the option of a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
