About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner makes use of an asset they own to get the loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or a company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The majority of the lenders not just the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing additional financing using the value of what you already have.
What do I require security to get an business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money, however we do require an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as stated in your loan contract document), asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150K generally there is the option of a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
