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 assets they own to get the loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I need security to secure a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, no asset security is required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as detailed in the loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150,000 generally there is an individual guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
