About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an company owner uses the assets they have to obtain the loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home, or an company asset such as a vehicle or piece or equipment.
The vast majority of lenders, including the banks with the biggest size, prefer to secure loans against an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your assets could be sold by the lender. In essence, it’s a way of securing additional financing using the value of what you already have.
Are I need security for a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets before you are able to access the money but we do need an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan obligations (as detailed in the loan contract) Asset security will never be needed. For loans that exceed $150K, generally, you can get a personal guarantee and security that is in the form charges on assets.
