About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner uses assets they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home, or an company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The majority of the lenders not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing making use of the value of what you already have.
Do I need security for a business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access, however we do need a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as detailed in the loan contract) the security of assets is not required. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need personal guarantee and security in the form of the charge of assets.
