About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner makes use of the assets they have to make the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, no asset security is required before you can access the money however, we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as detailed in the loan contract), asset security will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally there is an individual guarantee and security in the form of charges on assets.
