About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing occurs when an business owner uses assets they own to secure a loan. The asset can be an individual asset, such as the family home or it could be a company asset such as a truck or piece of equipment.
The vast majority of lending institutions, including the largest banks, are inclined to make loans secured by assets. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, your asset may be offered for sale by the lender. In essence it is an opportunity to secure new financing by using the value of what you already have.
Do I require security to secure an company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required prior to the loan’s access However, we do require an individual guarantee. In the event that you fulfill the terms of your loan (as stipulated in the loan contract) and you are able to meet your obligations, asset security is not needed. For loans of over $150K typically, you will need an individual guarantee and security in the form of a charge over assets.
