About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the business owner borrows from an asset they own to obtain the funds for a loan. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home or a company property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the major banks, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset might be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure additional financing using the value of what you already have.
Do I need security to get a company loan?
Up to $150,000 in loans no asset security is required before you can access the money however, we do need an individual guarantee. If you adhere to the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract), asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need a personal guarantee and security in the form of charges on assets.
