About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a business owner makes use of the assets they have to make the loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home or it could be a business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the big banks, tend to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to secure an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, you are able to get an individual ensure and security in the form an asset charge.
