About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner utilises assets they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a company asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lenders, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new funding making use of the value of what you already own.
Do I need security to get a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access however, we do need the personal guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as detailed in your loan contract), asset security is not required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally there is the option of a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
