About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner makes use of an asset they own to obtain the loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home, or a business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lending institutions, not just the big banks, tend to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.
What do I need security to get a company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access, however we do need a personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as specified in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally there is an individual guarantee and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
