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 obtain the funding. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or a business asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, even the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new financing by using the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to get a business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 no asset security is required before you are able to access the money however, we do need the personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as stated in your loan contract document) Asset security is not required. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, there is personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
