About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner uses an asset that they own to make a loan. The asset can be either a personal asset like the family home, or an company asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of the lenders not just the big banks, tend to make loans secured by assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing by using the value of what you already have.
Do I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets before you can access the money however, we do need a personal guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as stipulated in your loan contract), asset security is not needed. For loans of over $150K generally, there is a personal guarantee and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
