About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner utilises the assets they have to get the loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or a company asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of the lenders even the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I require security to get a company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, no asset security is required before you can access the money but we require a personal guarantee. require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as detailed in the loan contract), asset security is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 typically, you will need personal ensure and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
