It contains security interests granted to individuals who own personal property (including goods or assets).

About business loans
What exactly is an asset-based loan (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner uses an asset they own to make a loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home or an business asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of banks, including the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new funding making use of the value of what you already have.
Should I need security to get an business loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access however, we do need a personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, you are able to get personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
