About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner utilises an asset they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lenders, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new financing by using the value of what you already have.
Are I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access However, we do require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as detailed in the loan contract) the security of assets is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, there is an individual guarantee and security in the form a charge over assets.
