About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner makes use of assets they own to obtain the funding. The asset could be a personal asset like the family home, or an company asset like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of banks, even the big banks, tend to guarantee loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing additional financing using the value of what you already have.
What do I need security for an company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 there is no requirement for asset security in advance to gain access to the funds but we do require the personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as stated in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need a personal ensure and security in the form an asset charge.
