About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when an business owner uses assets they own to make a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home, or a company asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of banks, including the largest banks, are inclined to guarantee loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new financing using the value of what you already own.
Do I require security to secure an business loan?
For loans up to $150,000 the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money, however we do need a personal guarantee. As long as you follow the loan terms (as specified in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally there is an individual ensure and security in the form of a charge over assets.
