About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner utilises an asset that they own to obtain the funding. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or a company asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lenders, not just the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
What do I need security to secure an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money but we do need the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as stated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans over $150K generally there is a personal guarantee and security in the form of a charge over assets.
