About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when a business owner borrows from an asset they own to make the funding. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home, or a business asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of the lenders even the major banks, prefer to secure loans against assets. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
Do I require security to get a company loan?
Up to $150K in loans no asset security is required upfront to access the money, however we do require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as specified in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K generally, you can get the option of a personal ensure and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
