About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an company owner borrows from the assets they have to get a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or a company asset like a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence, it is a way of securing new financing by making use of the value of what you already have.
Are I need security to secure an business loan?
For loans of up to $150K, no asset security is required before you are able to access the money, however we do need the personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as detailed in your loan contract), asset security will never be needed. For loans over $150K typically, you will need personal ensure and security in the form of a charge over assets.
