About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when an business owner borrows from assets they own to secure the loan. The asset may be an individual asset, such as the family home, or it could be a company property like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The vast majority of lending institutions, even the banks with the biggest size, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you have trouble paying back the loan, the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence it’s the process of securing additional financing using the worth of the asset you already have.
What do I require security to secure a business loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, it is not necessary to secure assets before you can access the money however, we do require the personal guarantee. If you adhere to the loan terms (as detailed in your loan contract) the security of assets will never be required. If you take out loans in excess of $150K typically, you will need personal ensure and security is provided in the form of a charge over assets.
