About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner borrows from an asset that they own to get a loan. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or an company asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it is the process of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
What do I need security to get an company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 it is not necessary to secure assets before you can access the money However, we do require an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract) the security of assets will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150K, typically, you will need a personal ensure and security in the form a charge over assets.
