About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner uses an asset that they own to get a loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or a business asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of banks, even the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
What do I require security for an business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money but we do require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as detailed in the loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, you are able to get a personal guarantee and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
