About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a company owner borrows from an asset that they own to get a loan. The asset can be an asset belonging to the personal, like the family home or a company asset such as a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, not just the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan then the asset could be taken over by the lender. In essence, it’s means of securing new financing by using the worth of the asset you already have.
Do I need security for a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money but we do need a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with the loan terms (as stipulated in your loan contract document) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security will never be needed. If you take out loans in excess of $150,000 generally, you can get personal guarantee and security in the form an asset charge.
