About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner borrows from an asset they own to secure the funding. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or a business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I need security for an company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans the requirement for asset security is not required before you are able to access the money however, we do need the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as stipulated in your loan contract) the security of assets is not required. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, there is an individual guarantee and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
