About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner utilises the assets they have to secure a loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home, or an business asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The majority of the lenders not just the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.
Are I require security to get a company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money however, we do need an individual guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as stated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans of over $150,000 generally there is an individual ensure and security in the form of the charge of assets.
