About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a business owner utilises the assets they have to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or an company asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, including the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is means of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Do I need security to secure an business loan?
Up to $150K in loans there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as detailed in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, you are able to get an individual guarantee and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
