What’s an asset-based borrow (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner utilises the assets they have to secure a loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or a company asset like a truck or piece of equipment.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
Should I require security to secure an business loan?

In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as stated in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150K typically, you will need a personal guarantee and security in the form the charge of assets.
