About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a business owner uses the assets they have to make the loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home or a company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of the lenders even the big banks, tend to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Are I require security to get a business loan?
Up to $150K in loans no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as specified in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, you can get a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
