About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner utilises the assets they have to get a loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or a business asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, even the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new funding using the value of what you already own.
What do I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access but we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, there is personal ensure and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
