About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a business owner borrows from an asset they own to get the funds for a loan. The asset could be an individual property, such as the family home, or it could be a company asset such as a vehicle or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders including the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by an asset. If you’re having trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be taken over by the lender. In essence it is the process of securing additional financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
What do I require security for a company loan?
For loans up to $150K it is not necessary to secure assets in advance to gain access to the funds, however we require a personal guarantee. need an individual guarantee. So long as you comply with the terms of your loan (as stipulated in your loan contract document) the security of assets will never be required. For loans over $150K generally, there is an individual guarantee and security in the form of charges on assets.
