About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner uses an asset they own to make a loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home, or an company property like a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of the lenders not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then the asset might be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
What do I require security for a company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, there is no requirement for asset security upfront to access the money but we do need a personal guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as detailed in the loan contract), asset security is not required. For loans of over $150K generally there is personal ensure and security in the form an asset charge.
