About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner borrows from assets they own to obtain a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home or a company asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, even the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to secure an company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access However, we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as specified in your loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need a personal ensure and security in the form of a charge over assets.
