About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the company owner borrows from an asset that they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home, or an company asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of banks, even the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence it is means of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Do I require security to secure an company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access however, we do require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as specified in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, there is personal ensure and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
