About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner utilises an asset that they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a business asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Do I require security to secure a company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, no asset security is required upfront to access the money however, we do require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as detailed in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150K, typically, you will need the option of a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
