About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when a business owner makes use of the assets they have to get the loan. The asset could be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or it could be a company asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the major banks, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan, then your assets could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new funding using the worth of the asset you already have.
Should I need security for an company loan?
Up to $150K in loans the requirement for asset security is not required in advance to gain access to the funds but we do need the personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan obligations (as stipulated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be required. For loans of over $150,000 generally, you are able to get personal ensure and security in the form a charge over assets.
