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 secure a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home or a company asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of banks, even the major banks, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.
Do I need security to secure a business loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as specified in your loan contract document), asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 typically, you will need a personal guarantee and security that is in the form an asset charge.
