It reflects security interests which are registered with respect to personal property (including objects or assets).

About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner utilises an asset they own to get a loan. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home, or a company asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of the lenders even the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence it is means of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Should I require security for a business loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans it is not necessary to secure assets before you are able to access the money but we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as stipulated in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally there is an individual ensure and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
