About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a business owner utilises the assets they have to get the funds for a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a business asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lenders, not just the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your asset may be transferred to the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new financing using the worth of the asset you already own.
Should I require security to secure an company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as detailed in your loan contract), asset security is not required. For loans of over $150K generally there is personal ensure and security in the form of the charge of assets.
