About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner utilises an asset 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 asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I require security to secure an company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access, however we do need an individual guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as stipulated in the loan contract), asset security will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, there is the option of a personal ensure and security in the form of an asset charge.
