About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner utilises an asset they own to secure a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home or an business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of the lenders including the big banks, tend to secure loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it is a way of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Do I require security to secure a business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access but we do need a personal guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as detailed in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, there is a personal ensure and security in the form of a charge over assets.
