About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the business owner utilises the assets they have to make a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or a company asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, not just the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing using the value of what you already own.
Do I need security to secure a business loan?
For loans up to $150K the requirement for asset security is not required before you can access the money but we do need the personal guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract document), asset security will never be required. For loans over $150K generally there is the option of a personal ensure and security that is in the form the charge of assets.
