About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner uses assets they own to make the loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home or it could be a business asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of banks, including the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new financing using the value of what you already have.
Are I need security to secure a business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money but we do need an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as stated in the loan contract) Asset security will never be needed.
