About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an company owner utilises an asset that they own to obtain a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home, or an business asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of the lenders even the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing additional financing using the value of what you already own.
Are I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets before you can access the money, however we do need an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, you can get personal guarantee and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
