About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner uses an asset that they own to make a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or a business asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of banks, including the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
What do I need security to get an business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 the requirement for asset security is not required before you are able to access the money However, we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as detailed in the loan contract), asset security is not needed.
