About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner borrows from an asset they own to secure a loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home or it could be a company asset such as a truck or other piece of machinery.
The vast majority of lenders, not just the largest banks, are inclined to secure loans against assets. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new financing taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Are I require security to get a company loan?
For loans up to $150,000 it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money but we do need an individual guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as specified in your loan contract) the security of assets is not required. For loans of over $150,000 generally, you can get an individual guarantee and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
