About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the business owner makes use of the assets they have to make the loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or a business asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, including the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new funding using the value of what you already have.
Do I need security for an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access but we do need an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract), asset security will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally there is personal guarantee and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
