About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner makes use of assets they own to secure the funds for a loan. The asset can be either an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home, or a business property like a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of banks, even the big banks, tend to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s an opportunity to secure new funding taking advantage of the value of what you already own.
What do I require security to get an company loan?
For loans of up to $150K, the requirement for asset security is not required before you are able to access the money but we do need an individual guarantee. As long as you follow your loan obligations (as detailed in the loan contract), asset security will never be required. For loans that exceed $150K, generally there is personal ensure and security is provided in the form of the charge of assets.
