About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner utilises an asset that they own to get a loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home, or a business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
What do I require security to get an company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access, however we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as stipulated in the loan contract), asset security is not required. For loans over $150K generally, you can get the option of a personal guarantee and security that is in the form an asset charge.
