About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner utilises an asset they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or a business asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of banks, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Do I need security for a business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required before you are able to access the money, however we do need a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract) Asset security is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K typically, you will need an individual ensure and security that is in the form an asset charge.
