About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when the company owner makes use of an asset they own to obtain a loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or a company asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, including the major banks, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
What do I require security for an company loan?
For loans up to $150K no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds, however we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as specified in your loan contract document), asset security is not needed. For loans over $150K typically, you will need an individual ensure and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
