About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner makes use of an asset they own to secure a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The majority of the lenders not just the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
What do I need security to secure a business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access however, we do need the personal guarantee.

If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, there is the option of a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
