About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner makes use of an asset they own to get a loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a business property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lenders, not just the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure additional financing making use of the value of what you already have.
What do I need security to secure a business loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money but we do require a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as stated in your loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. For loans that exceed $150K, typically, you will need the option of a personal ensure and security in the form of the charge of assets.
