About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner utilises an asset that they own to obtain the funding. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home or a business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, even the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing by using the value of what you already own.
Should I need security for a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require a personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract document), asset security is not required. For loans of over $150,000 generally there is personal ensure and security in the form charges on assets.
