About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a company owner utilises assets they own to obtain a loan. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new funding making use of the value of what you already own.
Should I need security for a business loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security before you are able to access the money but we do need an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as specified in your loan contract document), asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150,000 typically, you will need personal ensure and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
