About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner utilises an asset they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home, or a business asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, including the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I require security for a business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access However, we do require a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, you are able to get a personal ensure and security in the form a charge over assets.
