About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the business owner borrows from an asset they own to secure the funding. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home or a company asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing additional financing using the value of what you already have.
Are I require security to secure an company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds however, we do need an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as detailed in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, there is an individual guarantee and security that is in the form the charge of assets.
