About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner utilises assets they own to obtain the funding. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home, or an business asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The majority of banks, not just the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I need security to secure an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access however, we do need an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as stipulated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150,000 typically, you will need a personal guarantee and security that is in the form an asset charge.
