About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner utilises assets they own to obtain the loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a business asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to secure an company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do need a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150K generally, you are able to get an individual guarantee and security in the form of an asset charge.
