About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner borrows from an asset that they own to obtain the loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home or it could be a company property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of banks, even the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then your assets could be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is a way of securing additional financing using the value of what you already own.
Are I need security to get a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, no asset security is required before you can access the money, however we do need the personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract document), asset security will never be needed. For loans of over $150,000 generally, you can get personal guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
