About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner utilises an asset that they own to get the funding. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home or it could be a business property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the major banks, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already own.
What do I require security for an business loan?
For loans up to $150K no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds however, we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as detailed in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans over $150,000 generally, you can get the option of a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
