About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner utilises an asset they own to obtain the loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a business asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of banks, even the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I require security to secure an company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access However, we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as detailed in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. For loans of over $150K generally, you can get a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
