About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the 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 a company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
Are I need security for a business loan?
Up to $150K in loans it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access but we do require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as specified in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, there is personal guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
