About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a company owner borrows from assets they own to secure the loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home or an business asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the major banks, prefer to guarantee loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already own.
Should I need security to secure an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, no asset security is required before you can access the money but we require a personal guarantee. require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as detailed in your loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, there is a personal ensure and security that is in the form the charge of assets.
