About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner uses an asset that they own to obtain the funding. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or a company asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of the lenders not just the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing using the value of what you already own.
Do I need security to secure a business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 the requirement for asset security is not required before you can access the money however, we do need a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as detailed in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans of over $150,000 generally there is the option of a personal ensure and security in the form the charge of assets.
