About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner utilises the assets they have to obtain a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or a business asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The majority of lenders, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Do I need security to get an business loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets before you can access the money However, we do require the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as stated in the loan contract) the security of assets is not required. For loans of over $150K generally, there is an individual guarantee and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
