About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner borrows from the assets they have to obtain the funding. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home or a business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the big banks, tend to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
Do I require security for a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do need the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as specified in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need an individual guarantee and security in the form of a charge over assets.
