About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner borrows from an asset that they own to obtain the funding. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, including the major banks, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new funding using the value of what you already own.
Are I require security to get an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets before you are able to access the money however, we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as detailed in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be required. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
