About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner borrows from an asset they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home, or a company property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, including the big banks, tend to secure loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing by using the value of what you already have.
Should I need security to get a company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access but we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as specified in the loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150,000 generally there is an individual ensure and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
