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 assets they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset may be a personal asset like the family home, or an business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Should I need security for a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money however, we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract) the security of assets is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, there is personal ensure and security in the form an asset charge.
