About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an company owner uses an asset that they own to obtain the loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or a company property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence it is a way of securing new financing by using the value of what you already own.
Do I require security for a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, no asset security is required before you can access the money but we do need an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as stated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, you can get an individual ensure and security in the form of charges on assets.
