About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner uses an asset that they own to make the loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home, or it could be a business property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of banks, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence, it is means of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Are I need security to get an business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money, however we do require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as stated in the loan contract), asset security is not required. For loans of over $150K typically, you will need a personal ensure and security in the form of a charge over assets.
