About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner utilises assets they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing making use of the value of what you already own.
Do I need security to get a business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money but we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stated in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans over $150,000 generally, you are able to get an individual guarantee and security in the form a charge over assets.
