About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner utilises an asset they own to get the funding. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a company asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already own.
Are I need security for an business loan?
