About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner uses an asset they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home or a business property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then the asset might be sold by the lender. In essence it is means of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.
Do I need security to get a company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money, however we require a personal guarantee. require an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as specified in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally there is the option of a personal ensure and security that is in the form a charge over assets.
