About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner uses the assets they have to get a loan. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home or an company asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing additional financing making use of the value of what you already own.
Do I need security for a 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 a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stipulated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans over $150,000 typically, you will need an individual guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
