About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner borrows from assets they own to secure a loan. The asset may be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or an company asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The 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, your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I require security to secure a company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets before you are able to access the money, however we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, generally, there is an individual ensure and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
