About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner utilises assets they own to get a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a business asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, including the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing using the value of what you already have.
Should I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans up to $150K no asset security is required before you are able to access the money but we do need the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as specified in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans over $150,000 generally, there is an individual ensure and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
