About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner uses an asset that they own to make the loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or a company asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, including the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing by using the value of what you already have.
Do I require security for a company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money however, we do require a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, there is personal ensure and security in the form an asset charge.
