About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner borrows from an asset that they own to get the loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a company 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 have trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I require security to secure a company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds however, we require a personal guarantee. require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as stated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150,000 generally, there is the option of a personal ensure and security in the form of the charge of assets.
