About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the business owner uses assets they own to make the loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home, or a business asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders not just the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing additional financing making use of the value of what you already own.
What do I need security to secure an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access but we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as detailed in your loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150K generally there is personal guarantee and security in the form of charges on assets.
