About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner utilises the assets they have to get the loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or a business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new funding using the value of what you already have.
Should I require security to secure an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required before you can access the money but we do need an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as stated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, you are able to get the option of a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
