About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a company owner utilises assets they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home or an company property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of banks, even the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing making use of the value of what you already own.
Should I require security for an business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access however, we do need the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract document), asset security will never be required. For loans over $150,000 typically, you will need personal guarantee and security in the form of a charge over assets.
