About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner utilises the assets they have to get the funds for a loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of the lenders even the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence it is means of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
Should I require security for a company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money However, we do require an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan commitments (as stipulated in the loan contract), asset security is not required.
