About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where an company owner borrows from the assets they have to get the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an individual asset, such as the family home, or a business property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lenders, even the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new financing by using the value of what you already have.
What do I require security to get a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, no asset security is required prior to the loan’s access, however we do need a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as specified in the loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150K, typically, you will need a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
