About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the business owner borrows from an asset that they own to obtain the funding. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home or an business asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of the lenders even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Do I require security to secure an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access but we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as stated in your loan contract) Asset security is not needed. For loans of over $150,000 typically, you will need the option of a personal ensure and security that is in the form the charge of assets.
