About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
Asset-based borrowing is when a company owner makes use of an asset they own to make the loan. The asset could be an individual asset, such as the family home, or it could be a business property like a truck or other piece of machinery.
The majority of lenders, even the big banks, tend to secure loans against assets. If you’re struggling to pay back the loan then the asset could be transferred to the lender. In essence, it’s the process of securing new financing using the value of what you already have.
Should I require security to secure a company loan?
For loans that exceed $150K, there is no requirement for asset security before you can access the money However, we do require a personal guarantee. So long as you comply with your loan commitments (as stipulated in your loan contract document), asset security is not needed.
