About business loans
How do you define asset-based lending (a secured loan)?
The term "asset-based" refers to borrowing where a business owner borrows from assets they own to get a loan. The asset can be either an individual property, such as the family home, or a company asset like a truck as well as a piece of machine.
The majority of lending institutions, even the major banks, prefer to make loans secured by an asset. If you are having difficulty paying back the loan, then your asset may be sold by the lender. In essence, it is an opportunity to secure new financing by taking advantage of the value of what you already have.
Should I require security for a company loan?
For loans of up to $150,000, the requirement for asset security is not required upfront to access the money, however we do need a personal guarantee. In the event that you fulfill your loan commitments (as detailed in your loan contract document) the security of assets is not required. For loans over $150,000 generally there is a personal guarantee and security in the form of a charge over assets.
