About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a company owner utilises an asset they own to obtain a loan. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or a company asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of the lenders including the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is means of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Are I need security to secure an business loan?
For loans up to $150K there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans of over $150K generally there is the option of a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
