About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner borrows from an asset they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lending institutions, not just the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new financing by using the value of what you already have.
What do I require security to get an company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access but we do require the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract document), asset security is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 typically, you will need personal ensure and security in the form of charges on assets.
