About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner uses the assets they have to secure the funding. The asset can be a personal asset like the family home or an company asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset could be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
What do I require security to get a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as detailed in the loan contract), asset security will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally there is the option of a personal guarantee and security in the form of a charge over assets.
