About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner utilises an asset they own to make the loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home, or a business asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of banks, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to get a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, no asset security is required before you are able to access the money however, we do require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as stated in your loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. For loans of over $150,000 typically, you will need personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
