About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner uses an asset that they own to secure the funding. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home or a business asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of banks, including the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Do I need security for an company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, there is no requirement for asset security prior to the loan’s access but we do need the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the loan terms (as stipulated in your loan contract document), asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need personal guarantee and security in the form of the charge of assets.
