About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner makes use of an asset they own to obtain the funding. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home, or a company property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, even the major banks, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Are I require security to secure an business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access but we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as detailed in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K typically, you will need personal guarantee and security in the form a charge over assets.
