About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a business owner utilises an asset they own to make the funds for a loan. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or an business asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders including the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
What do I need security to secure an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, no asset security is required upfront to access the money, however we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need an individual ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
