About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an business owner borrows from an asset that they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or it could be a business asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, including the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
What do I need security to secure an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets before you are able to access the money but we require a personal guarantee. require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as specified in your loan contract document), asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150,000 typically, you will need personal guarantee and security in the form of a charge over assets.
