About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a company owner utilises the assets they have to secure a loan. The asset can be an individual property, such as the family home, or an company property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lending institutions, even the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Do I need security to get an company loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds but we require a personal guarantee. need a personal guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as stated in the loan contract) the security of assets is not required. For loans of over $150,000 generally, you are able to get personal guarantee and security in the form of charges on assets.
