About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
An asset-based loan is when the company owner uses an asset that they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset may be an individual property, such as the family home, or a company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The majority of the lenders not just the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset might be taken over by the lender. In essence it’s a way of securing additional financing making use of the value of what you already have.
Should I require security to secure a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, no asset security is required before you can access the money however, we do require a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan obligations (as specified in your loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not required.
