About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner uses an asset they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home or an business asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I need security to secure a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets before you are able to access the money, however we do require a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stipulated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, there is an individual guarantee and security that is in the form an asset charge.
