About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner utilises assets they own to get the loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or a business asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Should I need security to get an company loan?
Up to $150K in loans there is no requirement for asset security before you can access the money but we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as detailed in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans of over $150,000 generally, there is a personal ensure and security in the form of charges on assets.
