About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the business owner utilises assets they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home or an company asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, even the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Do I need security to secure a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access but we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as specified in the loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150K generally, there is a personal ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
