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 that they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home or an company asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of banks, not just the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
What do I need security to secure a company loan?
Up to $150K in loans the requirement for asset security is not required before you can access the money, however we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as detailed in the loan contract), asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need an individual ensure and security that is in the form the charge of assets.
