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

About business loans
What is asset-based borrowing (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner borrows from an asset that they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home, or an company property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of banks, not just the major banks, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I need security for a company loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security before you can access the money but we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as stipulated in the loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150,000 generally, there is the option of a personal guarantee and security in the form charges on assets.
