About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner makes use of an asset that they own to secure the loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
What do I need security for an business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access, however we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as detailed in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, you can get the option of a personal ensure and security that is in the form charges on assets.
