About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner uses the assets they have to secure the loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or an business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new funding using the value of what you already own.
Do I require security to secure an company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets prior to the loan’s access However, we do require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as specified in your loan contract document), asset security will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, you are able to get the option of a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of charges on assets.
