About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner borrows from an asset they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or an company asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s an opportunity to secure new financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
What do I need security to secure an company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money however, we do require a personal guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as stated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150,000 generally there is a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
