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 assets they own to get the funding. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of the lenders not just 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 an opportunity to secure new financing by using the worth of the asset you already own.
What do I require security for an company loan?
For loans up to $150K the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money, however we require a personal guarantee. need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stipulated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150,000 typically, you will need personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
