About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner borrows from an asset they own to get the loan. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or it could be a company asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, including the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing additional financing making use of the value of what you already own.
Do I need security for a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, 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 the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally there is the option of a personal guarantee and security that is in the form the charge of assets.
