About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a company owner utilises an asset that they own to secure a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or an company asset such as a vehicle or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of banks, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence it is means of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I require security to get a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds however, we do require the personal guarantee. As long as you follow the terms of your loan (as stated in your loan contract), asset security is not needed. For loans over $150,000 typically, you will need the option of a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of an asset charge.
