About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner utilises an asset they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or an company asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of banks, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I require security to get a business loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money but we do require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as specified in your loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. For loans of over $150,000 generally, there is the option of a personal ensure and security in the form charges on assets.
