About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner utilises an asset they own to obtain the loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home or it could be a business asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing using the value of what you already have.
What do I need security to secure an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access but we do require an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as detailed in the loan contract), asset security 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.
