It reflects security interests which are registered with respect to personal property (including objects or assets).

About business loans
What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a business owner borrows from the assets they have to secure the loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or an business asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
Are I need security to get an business loan?
Up to $150K in loans the requirement for asset security is not required before you are able to access the money, however we do require a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as stipulated in the loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. For loans over $150,000 generally there is an individual guarantee and security in the form of the charge of assets.
