About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner makes use of an asset that they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home or it could be a business asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, 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 have.
Do I require security for a company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access, however we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as detailed in your loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150,000 typically, you will need the option of a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
