It records security interests that have been registered in respect of personal property (including the assets or goods).

About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a company owner makes use of the assets they have to make the loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a business asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The majority of banks, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Do I need security to get an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, no asset security is required before you are able to access the money, however we do require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract) Asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150K generally, you can get a personal guarantee and security that is in the form an asset charge.
