About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner makes use of an asset that they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home or a business asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the big banks, tend to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing additional financing using the value of what you already own.
Should I need security to get an company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access, however we do require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stated in the loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150K generally, you can get an individual ensure and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
