About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner utilises assets they own to make a loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of the lenders not just the big banks, tend to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
What do I need security for a business loan?
Up to $150K in loans the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money however, we do need an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as specified in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required.
