About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner utilises an asset that they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a business property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new financing by using the value of what you already own.
Do I require security to get an company loan?
Up to $150K in loans the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access but we do require a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract), asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally there is a personal ensure and security in the form charges on assets.
