About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner borrows from the assets they have to obtain the loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is the process of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to secure an business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets before you are able to access the money but we do need the personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract document) Asset security will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally there is a personal guarantee and security in the form of a charge over assets.
