About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner utilises an asset they own to secure the funding. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders even the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Do I need security to secure an company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access however, we do require an individual guarantee.

For loans over $150,000 generally, there is a personal ensure and security that is in the form the charge of assets.
