About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where the company owner utilises the assets they have to obtain a loan. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home or an company asset such as a truck or piece or equipment.
The majority of banks, even the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, then your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it’s means of securing new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I require security for a business loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, it is not necessary to secure assets upfront to access the money, however we do need a personal guarantee. If you adhere to your loan commitments (as stipulated in the loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. For loans that exceed $150,000, typically, you will need an individual ensure and security in the form charges on assets.
