About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the business owner borrows from an asset they own to get the loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home or a business asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is means of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already own.
Do I need security to get a business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access but we do need an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as stipulated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans of over $150,000 generally there is personal guarantee and security that is in the form an asset charge.
