About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner utilises the assets they have to obtain the loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home, or a company asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, including the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
What do I require security to secure an company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money, however we do require a personal guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as detailed in your loan contract) Asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150K generally, there is a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
