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 the assets they have to get the funds for a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home or a company asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lenders, not just the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence it is means of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.
What do I require security for a business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 no asset security is required before you are able to access the money, however we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract document) the security of assets is not required. For loans of over $150,000 generally, you can get the option of a personal ensure and security in the form of charges on assets.
