About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when the business owner utilises assets they own to secure the loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home or an business asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, even the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is means of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I need security for an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access but we require a personal guarantee. need the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as stated in your loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, there is the option of a personal ensure and security in the form of charges on assets.
