About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner uses assets they own to obtain a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of banks, even the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing additional financing using the value of what you already own.
Do I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as stipulated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 typically, you will need a personal guarantee and security in the form of charges on assets.
