About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner utilises the assets they have to obtain the loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home or a business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Are I need security to secure an company loan?
Up to $150K in loans the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money but we do need an individual guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as specified in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. 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.
