About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner uses an asset they own to get the loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home or an company asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lenders, even the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is means of securing new financing by using the value of what you already own.
Are I require security for an company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money however, we do need an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as detailed in your loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans over $150K typically, you will need personal ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
