About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner uses assets they own to get the loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home or it could be a company asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of the lenders not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
Do I require security to get an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access However, we do need an individual guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150,000 typically, you will need the option of a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
