How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner utilises an asset that they own to make a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home or a company asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, even the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to secure an business loan?

As long as you follow your loan obligations (as specified in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, there is an individual guarantee and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
