About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner uses an asset that they own to obtain a loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home or it could be a company asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you’re having 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 using the worth of the asset you already have.
What do I require security for a business loan?
Up to $150K in loans it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as detailed in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans of over $150K generally, there is an individual ensure and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
